Prospect Info: Rangers Prospect Poll: #6

[Beacon]

Igor Shesterkin became the first goalie to win a spot. RW Robin Kovacs is added to the poll.

THE RULES

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

* Please don't write that so-and-so should or should not be a prospect.[/COLOR] It's not up to each individual here to decide, it's up to the HF rules. Every poll we have people who think they get to decide the rules. If you don't like the rules, go to another web site because here we use HF rules.

HOW TO RANK PROSPECTS: Based on their value in a hypothetical trade or waiver draft. This takes into consideration a prospect's ceiling, how close he's to making it, his health, work ethic, the whole deal. Imagine there was a prospect waiver draft and you could keep only one prospect. That guy is our #1 prospect. Then imagine we had one more waiver protection. That guy is our #2 prospect.

Please write who you want added to the poll, and give a reason for it. This makes the discussion here more lively.

Voted for Skapski who proved that he definitely can be very good in the AHL at the age of 20, while putting in two really strong games in the NHL.

Add Nieves.

 

[Gospel of Prospal]

Gropp. Add Boo

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

Graves. Add Saarela.

Tough call on the add. I keep going back and forth between Nieves, Hellberg, Saarela, Nejzechleb and Morrison.

 

[eco's bones]

Gropp. Nieves.

 

[Charlie Conway]

Graves has impressed me even if he only looked okay in the preseason games. I'm excited to see him develop over the course of this season with the Pack. I think he has top-4 upside and will get there with experience. Has size, knows the importance of gap control, and isn't afraid to get nasty when necessary.

Sauer-esque? If he keeps up the development of his defensive game, I could also see him taking on some of Staal's characteristics. Will hit and has the size and reach to suppress top-flight forwards even if he doesn't have the speed to match them.

Add Nieves.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Halverson, add Saarela

 

[kovazub94]

Tambs. Can't help but marvel thinking about that draft with Tambs, Butch, Duke, Graves and Skapsky. And without a single 1st or 2nd round draft pick at that!

 

[Beer League Sniper]

Graves, add Hellberg.

 

[EpicDing]

Gropp, add Boo.

 

[Machinehead]

I'm more excited about Kovacs than Gropp.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Gropp. Add Nieves.

 

[Charlie Conway]

I'm more excited about Kovacs than Gropp.

Same here. He was going to be my add.

 

[Savant]

Halverson and Shestyorkin were neck and neck for me. Going Halverson. Add Nieves

 

[Joey Bones]

Halverson add Nieves

 

[E-Train]

Graves, add Nieves

 

[nyr2k2]

Add Zamorsky.

 

[darko]

Halverson add Boo

 

[statsking]

Morrison and Kovacs

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Went with Tambo. In my opinion, he has the best shot to make the Rangers, out of the current options. Add Nieves

 

[FLYLine27*]

Add Saarela
