Aurora, On.
Voted Kapanen.

Not sure if Sprong will be better. I think he'll score more but that doesn't mean he'll be the better player.

Scherbak is 3rd for sure though.

I’m assuming OP meant best offensively, so I picked Scherbak.

Kapanen's far better than his point totals show and he's already a very good two-way player. I wouldn't trade him for either of the other two so I'll just throw down the homer vote.

Sprong for ceiling, Kapanen for floor, they tier together for me. Scherbak working his way back into that tier too, just needs to keep doing what he's doing this year

Kapanen and Sprong could go either way. I voted Kapanen to get the vote totals closer. Would have probably voted Sprong if he was behind in the poll.

Scherbak in 3rd. But, to be honest, I don't know much about the guy, other than what 30 seconds with google can tell you.

Sprong amazing rookie season in Ahl
Scherbak has had his young numbers hurt by injuries and not only had amazing Ahl numbers has been pretty good in his own end( not great but not terrible).
Kappen has highest floor but lowest ceiling

Pens fan... who's a huge Sprong fan... I think Scherbak will be the best NHLer.

completely ignores the fact that scherbak only has 7g in the AHL after 13 the year before and 7 as a rookie

Kapanen has 12g in his 28 games and had 18 in 43 last year. 30g in 71 games vs 27 in 140.
cherry picking at its finest

Completely ignoring the fact scherbak was injured in both his first 2 years in the Ahl and this year was more than a point per game before his call up (kappanen has been at best a point per game).

Man....the pens could have both Kap and Sprong...should've gave Toronto Pouloit instead.

I think Kap and Sprong will be very close...Kap being a bit faster and a player you can play anywhere...while Sprong will be a 25-30 goal scorer in the top 6.

I'd take Kap because I like his ability to play on the 4th or 3rd line and be useful.
