Prospect Info: Rangers Prospect poll: #11

[Beacon]

D Adam Clendening won round 10. G Brandon Halverson becomes the 4th goalie added to the poll.

ADDITIONS: I am adding Tyler Nanne since based on the last story it looks like he made a full return to health and is training to return to hockey (but probably not this season since he needs to regain his strength). I am also adding Troy Donnay since technically he's still our prospect, even though he's in his last year of his contract and nowhere near the AHL.

WHO IS A PROSPECT: We can't all have different standards based on what we each want personally, so we follow HF rules. The standard for what's a prospect is here: http://www.hockeysfuture.com/whatmakesaprospect


I specifically want to point out that Paliotta and Hrivik are eligible as prospects since they played under 65 games. Every year there are people who declare something like, "I don't consider Buchnevich to be a prospect because he's guaranteed to play on the Rangers." That is not the standard. We cannot have everyone follow a difference standard because then the results will be meaningless. By HF standards, McIlrath and others I listed are eligible, therefore they will count as prospects here.

Please write-in who you think should be added to the poll.

Gilmour because he's likely to play in the NHL.

Add Zbovorvskiy. He looked good during the preseason, and now started hot in Regina. He was drafted in the 3rd round and his value has only increased since then. Not sure why Day is up there over Zboro other than the shiny new toy syndrom: Zboro is taller, has a better shot, better positioning, more polished. Day is a little faster, but Zboro's skating improved over the last 12 months enough that I didn't see a gap in skating between the two in Traverse. Basically, the *hope* for Day is that a year from now he'll be where Zboro is today, but Zboro already got at least to this point, while Day just *hopes* to get here in a year.

Gropp getting sent back to WHL team as an overage player...of course it's way too soon to call it a bust, but he is sure on his way to becoming one. Never was much a fan of the pick. I have him nowhere near the top 15 on our list.

Voted Gilmour, add Jensen.

 

[Revel]

Zboro is tempting, but I'll still say Add Stromwall.

 

[eco's bones]

I like what I've seen from Gilmour quite a lot but to me Tarmo Reunanen is the guy I'd go with here. Add Jensen.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Huska

Add Wall

 

[Irishguy42]

Huska. Add Stromwall.

 

[CTRanger]

Gilmour

Gropp. I don't think his being sent back to the WHL has any bearing on his longterm success as a prospect. I simply think they want him to go back and dominate.

That said, if he doesn't, he goes back down the list in our next poll.

Add Zboro.

 

[Don Chytil]

Gilmour, add Zboro

 

[Beer League Sniper]

Gilmour, add Zborovskiy.

I've been trying to add Zborovskiy since Round 7. To be honest, this is about where I would put him. These big guys tend to develop late, but just like McIlrath, the continued improvement is encouraging. Zboro has improved in very meaningful ways every season since being drafted. I personally value that over a more recent pick with an unknown ceiling (even though I am excited about Day and Reunanen).

 

[FoxysExpensiveNYDigs]

Add Stromwall.

 

[Joey Bones]

Went Day based on elite potential. Add Jensen.

 

[NoQuitInNewMexico]

Day, add Morrison

 

[darko]

Gropp add Zboro

 

[nyr2k2]

Gilmour, Jensen.

 

[cwede]

Huska

add Wall, 40 saves in first NCAA game

Didn't Huska lose out on the starting gig at UConn? Doesn't necessarily destroy his prospects, but it is a setback.

I think he did, but he was fighting against two players who were pretty much a lock already.

He lost an exhibition game for UConn, I believe.

Didn't Huska lose out on the starting gig at UConn? Doesn't necessarily destroy his prospects, but it is a setback.

He was challenging three upperclassmen, and wasn't really expected to win the spot.
