[Micklebot]

This is where it gets somewhat interesting, but since imo Brown has significantly higher potential than any other prospect in the system, that's my choice. I get that some are predicting he'll bust, but imo that's very pre-mature.

 

[SpezDispenser]

This should be 100% Brown. Had an off year last year, but he's the most talented forward in the system.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Brownie

 

[BUCKLE UP]

I'm a big Nick Paul fan, but for pure potential and game breaking ability, I can't see how this isn't Brown.

 

[slamigo]

I was really surprised by Harpur and think he could make the leap to the NHL full time.
I think he's going to be good.

 

[SpezDispenser]

TI think he's going to be good.

Yeah, ditto. Also an eye opening season for Claesson last year.

 

[MaxTheLimit]

Logan Brown. Folks may be down on him right now, but he has the capability to be a big #1C. It's his long development time that are a concern. So much can go wrong, and there is no guarantee he reaches his potential.

 

[Xspyrit]

Claesson and Harpur are textbook examples of why most of the Sens prospects are often underrated big time

I think it's also the case for Perron and Chlapik.

 

[YouGotAStuGoing]

Chlapik for me. Less high end potential than Brown but IMO a much higher chance of reaching his potential. Brown is a boom or bust prospect and I find myself evaluating him more toward the bust category. Hope I'm wrong. I'd love to eat crow on this post in 15 years as Brown is captaining the team to its third Cup.

Do you really think we'd leave you alone until that long?

 

[operasen]

Chlapik or Jaros, Claesson.

All have a higher give-a-crap metre than Brown. If Brown can fix that great. Until he does ...

 

[YouGotAStuGoing]

Nah, I'm just that stubborn and will refuse to admit defeat until then.

 

[pt_mck]

Agreed but that doesn't make him the #3 prospect.

Brown has the highest upside.

 

[BondraTime]

Brown, especially for the Sens.

We are flush with 2-way, 0.5 ppg players. That's the last thing we need.

Brown offers us a skill set and offensive impact that the Sens need to take the next step, that every other forward in our system lacks. Guys like Chlapik/White/Bowers/etc. Can be great contributors, but Brown is, by far, the most important cog in the Sens bullpen outside of Chabot.

 

[LeProspector]

Brown, add Batherson

 

[tony d]

Logan Brown, very interested to see the results from Poll 4 onwards.

 

[edguy]

Brown..

Next tier includes Chlapik/Bowers/Harpur/Claesson

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Brown..

Next tier includes Chlapik/Bowers/Harpur/Claesson

Claesson is on the big team on a one way contract, not waivers exempt who's elc is done. Is he still to be considered a prospect?

I decided to add Claesson because I guess he’s still technically a prospect according to HF rules since he hasn’t played 65 games yet. We’ve done this in the past with guys like Ceci in 2014, Zibanejad, Conacher and Wiercioch in 2013, etc. and IMO it’s important to stay consistent.

If you don’t consider him a prospect anymore, you don’t have to vote for him. These rankings are just for fun, so it’s not a big deal.

Yup.

 

[Dr.Sens(e)]

Brown given his upside, but I feel Chlapik is nipping at his heels.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Yup.

I missed Brawler's quote .. I'm totally ok with that.. just a question.

 

[Alf Silfversson]

Brown given his upside, but I feel Chlapik is nipping at his heels.

Pretty much this.

Also, add Lajoie next.

 

[slamigo]

Anyone else worried about Brown's family situation? His dad was suspended from coaching, then was back and then left for health/personal reasons. Maybe there is some off ice stuff that has derailed him a bit? Pretty hard for a kid with all this pressure on him and a potential situation at home.

 

[Grizz MacArthur]

Logan Brown without question.

Add - Maxime Lajoie.
