[Cosmix]

Voted Chlapik. Will vote Wolanin next.

 

[Daffy]

Jaros easily for me. And I'd have him higher than 6.

 

[Deku]

I'm voting for Wolanin until he gets in

 

[Grizz MacArthur]

Formenton for me.

Add - Parker Kelly

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Formenton

ditto on Parker Kelly

 

[SensBrawler]

Gustavsson

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

This is a hard one. Wolanin, Chlapik, and Formenton could all go here. Heck, after the prospects camp, Crookshank could be a dark horse to move up. Lajoie has been improving every year. Gustavsson is supposed to be a future #1 (although I haven't seen him at all). We know Harpur is NHL quality.

I'm going Wolanin, simply for the good games he had with the club at the end of the season. Kid would be a legit 2nd pairing guy.

No love for Jaros? I think people are going to be surprised. I'd put him as high as 4th or 5th right now.

I haven't specifically watched him to form an opinion on the kid, so I left him out. We have so many kids now, including those two 2nd rounders from Tier II...hard to keep track of them all and get a read on them.

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

I took Gustavsson just for upside.

After him that group of Bernard-Docker, Tychonick, Chlapik, Jaros, Wolanin, Gagne and Formenton are all super close and can really go in any order.

Agreed. I went with Wolanin over Gus because goalies are so damn unpredictable. Gustavsson could be in the top 3 prospects if he has a strong year this coming one.

I went Wolanin over JBD, Tychonick, and Jaros because of what he showed in the NHL. I think Wolanin is going to be a solid #3 who can lead a PP. ~40 point two way upside.

 

[petesimo]

Jaros.

 

[DJB]

Gustavsson

This . He should have been top 5

I liked what I've seen of Wolanin and from his highlight reel he seems to have a really good slap shot so I like his potential as a PP guy. I'm just hesitant to project him as a top 4 guy at this point. He's got work to do in his own end but he's promising. I don't think I'd put him ahead of JBD or Formentom though cause I think those guys are easy to project as solid NHL players with their attributes (size, skating). I know he's projected to make the team but I won't be upset if they send him to Belleville for awhile.

Such a tough vote. Do you vote for most NHL ready or highest ceiling? I voted for ceiling, and went JBD.

Kid looks like he has "it" and definitely has #1D All star potential.

I think we used to vote based on readiness, potential and likelyhood of reaching said potential like the old HF rating (8.0C, 7.0B etc). Its the wild west now. I'm voting for who I think has the highest upside. If you're voting for readiness and stuff a gut like Harpur or Paul could be high on the list. Nothing against them, but they aren't great "prospects" any longer.

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

Oh yeah, add Mandolese. I could say Sturtz or Parker but I just like how huge that dude is.

I keep asking for people to rate on our prospects based on the '8.0C' style but no one will. Im really curious what people think.

Its a pretty flawed system tbh. Never was a fan.

I'm more of a "if we can only keep 1 guy out of this group, who do you keep?" way of rating the kids. Whoever feels most valuable to the franchise gets the top rating.

 

[Sun God Nika]

Formenton

Gustavsson next

 

[DrunkUncleDenis]

I guess the good news with having this many good options at #6 means that we don't have a paper thin prospect pool.

 

[Karl Prime]

Formy.

We say this every year though...
