Prospect Info: Prospect Rating #1

[Empoleon8771]

Figured this is about the time of the year to include prospect ratings. The first one is probably going to be a blowout, but I figured I'd use this one to get some names of prospects I should include. Right now I have:

-Poulin
-Hallander
-Maniscalco
-O'Connor
-Lee
-POJ
-Legare
-Bjorkqvist
-Angello
-Almari
-Reilly
-Drozg
-Phillips
-Almeida
-Caufield
-Puustinen
-Miletic
-Bellerive
-Larmi

Is there anyone I should drop from this list for someone else? I think DiPauli and Johnson are UFAs after this year and I'm skeptical they re-sign, so I wasn't planning on including them.

You could add Airola, Zohorna and Gorman but they’re also fringe guys.

I'll add Zohorna after Poulin wins this one. Past years have only been the top-20, so I'll probably just have 23-25 guys.

 

[HandshakeLine]

As one of the few people who's seen Zohorna play here, I'm on tenterhooks to see that one go up.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Poulin is hopefully a sure-fire NHLer, ideally a guy with a significant impact. Legare seems more boom or bust, but his ceiling is probably around Poulin's. POJ is close to NHL ready, but I honestly don't expect much of the guy--especially if he wasn't in the rotation of call-ups in a season where we saw all of Trotman, Ruhwedel, and Riikola get pretty significant time due to injury.

After that, it's a grab bag of "who gives a shit". I guess someone could come outta nowhere and surprise us all, but I doubt anyone beyond those three ever really sniffs significant NHL time, let alone makes any kind of impact at this level.

 

[HandshakeLine]

The question with Zohorna is about the transition to the NHL/language barrier, not physical tools.

 

[Peat]

Wouldn't it make more sense to do this after the draft and trading? Not that I'm against doing it now too I guess.

That would be fine, but that means these wouldn't happen until like December then.

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

As of this date and time went with Samuel of the Poulin clan.

True.

Screw it. Do it now and see how much we change our minds in 4 months!

 

[Dangles78]

The only debate between doing it now vs after the draft would be if Poulin is still ranked above the drafted player.

If Gorman makes our top 20 I’ll eat my hat.

Nice going

 

[Randy Butternubs]

Dang, there goes Hallander...

 

[dogthateats]

Our prospect pool was ranked 30th going in to today.

 

[Empoleon8771]

I'm going to wait until after the draft to do this, because I imagine there will be a lot of changes between now and then

I'll keep Poulin at #1 and start at #2.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Pretty safe to say we're not landing a guy to push Poulin out of the top spot now that we don't have a 1st for the next two drafts.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

Congratulations to Poulin, whose status as #1 prospect is now indisputable until he graduates...or gets traded.

Poulin and 2022 1st for Staal coming right up

 

[EVGENIMERLIN]

What prospects?

 

[TNT87]

JR is going to trade him isn't he?

 

[Andy99]

What prospects?

The prospects that we’re going to have no prospects...

 

[DesertPenguin]

Actually having a prospect be drafted in the first two rounds and survive the GMJR trade maw long enough to make the big team, it's a rare and beautiful sight. Poulin better be hitting the gym right now because if he doesn't make the team out of camp, he's gone by the trade deadline.

 

[Headshot77]

I voted for Hallander because RIP

 

[wheelz87]

Wow.. this list is going to be pretty sad.. anyone remember the results from last year? Atleast the top 5-10 or so?
