Voted for Tambellini. Gropp will probably be his main competition this round, but Rambo scored much more last year at the exact same age as Gropp is now, except he did it without Barzel or any other great players. Rambo is tall and a decent skater. He has the best shot of any Hartford forward - young or veteran. Probably will score around 20 goals in his rookie AHL season. He has his flaws, but the kid has the biggest upside of anyone presently in the poll.

Add Huska.

Going with Kovacs instead of Gropp this time around. Have a feeling about him.

Add Morrison.

 

[Mac n Gs]

I'm going with Tambo for this one because he's performed better in Hartford than I thought he would in his first season. I really want Gropp to start picking it up now that his game is back before I give him a vote.

Add Huska

 

[darko]

Tambo then Kovacs, add Huska.

 

[eco's bones]

Tambellini. Skapski.

 

[Don Chytil]

Tambo, add Mantha

EDIT: I see Boo has already been added, got confused because he's still on the eligible list. Add Mantha instead. Not much offense in juniors but a 6'5" defenseman will always be intriguing. Not dissimilar to McIlrath in that he is a bit of a project, needs to improve his foot speed. However I'd argue that he's better at moving the puck than McI was at 19 years old.

Toss up for me between Tambo and Kovacs, went Kovacs.

Add Huska.

 

[Matz03]

Went with Tambo on this, he's closer than Gropp or Kovacs and still has upside as a scoring winger. Getting close 20 goals in the AHL in his first season would be great achievement while he can focus on getting the rest of his game together. Hopefully we can see a stronger second half from him if Hartford can pick up their play.
