Kea. Add Lepkowski.

 

[1972]

Ikea

 

[Zman5778]

Kea by a smidge over Makarov.

Add Lepkowski.

 

[Rammstein816]

Kea, add Lepkowski

 

[Paxon]

Kea, Lepkowski

 

[missingmika]

Kea. I'm high on him.. but after hearing Grigs only had 2 hits for the Sabres this yr, perhaps he would slide in better at 13?

Makarov or Ullmark next... I like both. First time in awhile I could see anyone in the top 15 as an NHL player.

Add Crawford.

 

[sabresandkane]

JGL add Lagace

 

[NotABadPeriod]

Kea should runaway with this one. The two goalies probably next.

Add Lepkowski

Kaleta > Vanek, he had more hits

Kaleta > Vanek, he had more hits

Grigorenko > Enroth, he had more hits.

 

[Woodhouse]

Kea, add Lepkowski; Ullmark next.

 

[UnleashRasmus]

Ikea, though I do like Makarov as a goalie prospect.

 

[Ruckus007]

For me it's Makarov by a smidge over Kea. Add Lepkowski.

I'd be curious to hear the Makarov v. Ullmark argument. pre-GCT?

Baker has Ullmark above Makarov, but Makarov is already getting some consideration here. I think Makarov has had more notable accomplishments, but Ullmark has been more consistent against tougher competition.

For me, it's because Ullmark's getting time in a men's league and is more consistent than Makarov. Makarov... he's a wild card. If he's on, fabulous. If he's not... bleh.

Yeah, I went Ullmark here. Just seems like your prototype big, consistent Swedish netminder. Makarov is intriguing, but he has to become less uneven from night-to-night.

I could see Ullmark being one of the biggest risers next summer if he performs well in the SEL this season, and I think he will.
