Skapski; add Iverson

Voted Huska. I'd rather have someone who played well (albeit on a bad team in front of him) in the WJC than a 150-pound weakling who is behind 200 Junior players in scoring (Morrison), or anyone else in the poll.

Add Jensen. He's 2+ years younger than Bourque. To me, Bourque's development is pretty much over since he's now 25 years old. Jensen is still 22 and is a good AHL player.

Also, this should be the end of the second tier. Please post if you agree/disagree.

Skapski. Jensen.

 

[E-Train]

Skapper, add Jensen and yes, this should be the end of the second tier.

Huska's had a really good year. No denying that. I think for me it's where is he going from here? It would help to know what college program (assuming that's where he's heading). The other thing is kind of like with Fogarty two or three years ago or Nanne now--you're figuring at least 3-4 more years before they maybe turn pro and then a season or two or three more of development. The way I look at Huska is he'll be at least 22-23 and maybe 24-25 years old before he makes the NHL if he does.

 

[cwede]

Hrivik, add Hellberg

 

[Revel]

I voted for the 150-pound weakling who is behind 200 Junior players in scoring (Morrison).

You convinced me on Jensen, though. Add him pls.

 

[darko]

Huska, add Jensen i guess.

There's no law that says that Huska must stay in college for 4 years. Kreider graduated in 3 years. Talbot and McDonagh left early after 3 years, Richter and Stepan after 2, Brian Leetch after just one. Fogarty stayed the full 4 years after spending his first post-draft year in the BCHL because that's what he needed. If Huska needs that long, fine. But if he progresses well and is ready for the pros sooner than that, space will be made for him in Hartford.

Goalies also take longer. At the age of 23, Talbot was a meh AHLer who got sent down to the ECHL for a couple of games. Richter was going back and forth from the AHL to the NHL at the same age. If Huska stays in college the full 4 years, he'll only be 23 years old. That's not terrible for a goalie.

 

[Igor Shestyorkin]

B-Mo. Add Jensen.

Went with Skapski, though next year will be a HUGE year for him. He's on the same journey as Halverson, only further along the road.

Huska's had a good year, but is just starting out.

Some good potential in all three, some good questions as well.
