Pretty tough choice on this one but I want to go for McNally

 

[OrrNumber4]

I realize this is bringing it up at a bad time, but wouldn't these series of polls be more prudent after training camp? We'd get to see a lot more of some of these prospects, and it will be less-influenced by the post-draft hysteria.

 

[Howe Elbows 9]

Could you please correct the spelling of the names of three prospects? Joonas Donskoi, Petter Emanuelsson and Nikita Jevpalovs.

 

[DonskoiDonscored]

It's Sadowy time, again.

 

[Patty Ice]

It's Sadowy time, again.

I have him and LaBanc after Rod but I'm having a hard time ranking those two specifically. Labanc has the higher potential but I'm 50/50 if he makes the NHL. Sadowy I see as a NHLer but not as impactful. Gut says LaBanc and my head says Sadowy.

 

[Sharksrule04]

Rod for the 3rd time.

 

[Juxtaposer]

Sadowy... I think some will be severely disappointed in Jevi considering this poll.

 

[Lebanezer]

Sadowy... I think some will be severely disappointed in Jevi considering this poll.

As the 8th best prospect in the system? You mean he's not the next McDavid?

He would be my fifth choice here.

 

[Lebanezer]

He would be my fifth choice here.

That's certainly understandable, it's getting hard to choose at this point. For those of us who don't get a chance to see a lot of the prospects very often we're just going off limited highlights, or things we've read. I would be curious to see your top ten though, as well as anyone else who wants to post theirs.

I'm not gonna claim to be an expect on most of the guys still on the board at this time but for Jevpalovs, I just can't get that excited by a QMJHL overager.

I think Sadowy has the higher potential if he can work on his edgework and stride. He had 0 help in Saginaw this year playing with 2 17 year olds on the top line after they traded Lodge and Moutrey. He almost doubled the goal output from the next best scorer on the team and is the most complete forward in the OHL.

Labanc is great on the PK, but his shot and vision is not up to par with Sadowy's.

Neither has an obscene ceiling, but I believe Sadowy's is higher.

 

[hohosaregood]

I think my next three are Sadowy, Rod, Labanc. But Brodzinski, McNally, or Jevpalovs could sneak in.

I know it was one game, not even really a game, but he looked really good with Goldobin and O'Reagan. That shouldn't sway an opinion by itself, but he didn't look out of place against a couple of NHL players. If that's his normal game then I really think he'll be good. In the QMJHL he was an overager, but he wasn't the oldest in that scrimmage by a longshot.

Actually the whole line was fairly dominant. O'Regan looked really good, and Goldobin looked like he was just messing around a bit, while still playing well.

Again, just one game, but it made me far more optimistic.

Yeah I respect that. I just know that we all have a tendency to read too much into one intrasquad scrimmage.

Poll already closed, but my vote goes to Rod.
