As we have been doing since 2004, we are going to use the HF criterias for prospect eligibility (less than 65 NHL games and under 25 y/o)

NHL Prospect Criteria - Hockey's Future

I have removed prospects who graduated (Jaros, Wolanin, Hogberg, Paul, Zub), were traded (Gruden) or not qualified (Hawryluk, Englund)


Remember to vote based on all factors and not just NHL readiness. Overall skillset, hockey IQ, upside potential vs floor, age, stats, skating ability, array of shots, leadership qualities, size/strenght, etc

Personally, I always ask myself, who would I draft BPA in priority among these players?

Try to do some research on the kids, particularly the new ones. People can post links and videos about some of the prospects that should be voted soon

I get the feeling there are going to be a lot of shocked people when Brannstrom breaks out.

 

[NyQuil]

Has to be Brannstrom here I think.

 

[Wallet Inspector]

Brannstrom.

 

[Sun God Nika]

I’ll take JBD ahead of brannstrom

 

[BondraTime]

Formenton 4th, Norris 5th, Brannstrom/JBD 6th

 

[NyQuil]

I’ll take JBD ahead of brannstrom

I have limited exposure to JBD but I was sort of ambivalent with respect to his WJC performance.

He had the very difficult job of playing against a lot of the top competition, but he was burned on more than a few occasions and I found his skating and overall play to be a bit clunky.

 

[Alf Silfversson]

Brannstrom here for me. He's younger than Josh Norris and the same age as Formenton. If we had drafted him out of the CHL he would have been a rookie in the AHL last year. Yet he has 30 or so games in the NHL and has two very good AHL seasons under his belt.

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

Add Gustavsson

 

[Xspyrit]

It should start to get a lot more closer after this poll, no?

Man the top-15 is going to be ridiculous.

Add Gustavsson

Shouldn't we wait at least 10 more rounds before doing that? I mean, Daccord, Sogaard and Mandolese will most likely be voted before him...

Did you plan to vote for him soon? In that case I'll add him but there's a ton of prospects that will and should be voted before him...

Yes, an important point that is often overlooked. High pedigree european prospects often played in a men's league in their draft year or draft +1 year, which means they have already accumulated pro experience.

That's why when I read "yeah but can't go with only rookies", the fact that these guys have several pro seasons under their belt is overlooked.

Look at Dadonov, in his first full NHL season scored 65 pts in 71 GP. Sure he was older, but the point is he already a lot of pro experience. Like Zub this year, guy already has 6 pro seasons under his belt. Another example, Kubalik who came older but was good right away as he played many seasons in men's leagues.

Brannstrom is a 21 years old that already has 4 pro seasons under his belt...

 

[DrEasy]

Things are going to get interesting after this one. It's going to be a close call between Formenton, JBD and L. Brown.

I'd personally take Gus over the other goalies right now. Kind of a toss up between him and Sogaard for me.

Also, I dunno if Zub really needs to be an option here. He's almost 26 and probably no one here has ever seen him play.

They are all the same age, unless you mean Norris was born in May and Brannstrom September.

 

[Alf Silfversson]

That is what I meant. Same year I know but it was meant more as an eye opener because Brannstrom has been a top prospect playing pro for so long that it seems people often view him as older.

 

[DJB]

I feel alone in the JBD camp. I think hes at worst a bottom pair guy but appears to be a 2nd pair guy for me.

Yes Brannstrom has more upside but comes with a higher bust factor and do far I've felt very underwhelmed by him at the NHL level.

Look at it this way, if you had to choose between Brannstrom or JBD right now and the other gets traded for a draft pick, who are you holding onto?

Id hold JBD and move Brannstrom because the return would be better.

Plus I'm worried he may bust.

Zub turned 25 y/o just 13 days ago so he isn't almost 26 but you're right, he's not going to be among options. He was eligible this summer but reach 25 y/o so as per the rules, he "graduated"

Good to see Gus still have believers, still very young for a goalie but not a lot of success in NA so far

I'll add him

 

[Sun God Nika]

I cant get Rundblad out of my mind when i think Brannstrom even though I know they are different players
