[STL fan in MN]

Out of what’s left, I’ll take a flyer on Sim. The London Knights are notorious for not giving their younger players much ice time AND he missed what should’ve been his rookie OHL season because of the covid canceled season. I think the Blues may have found a late round gem whose true talent wasn’t able to be displayed before his draft day.

 

[Memento]

Voted for Peterson. Sim will be next. Other than those guys, I'm not sure. I just know that I won't vote for Zherenko or Cranley, much like I wouldn't vote for Ellis or Hofer. Goalies are just too volatile, too different than position players.

 

[Beauterham]

Voted for Peterson.



BTW, I see Bakanov is in the list. Is that a mistake as he only has a AHL contract? Or are we also going to add Luce and Guy?

I added Bakanov cuz I wanted to.

He is NOT Blues property and I'm not even sure he is signed to an AHL deal. That was blurb on STLToday (might be a mistake), but I've found no official notice.

He was definitely signed to a PTO with the Blues.

I know Caser (RusProspects mod) would prefer I not add him, but these are just informal polls and we are scraping the barrel.

Should I leave in Bakanov? I don't care either way, but I'd like to leave him in.

Luce and Guy? idk These polls will be wrapped up by Tuesday or Wednesday.

 

[Blueston]

Peterson again.

I know Bakanov's supposed AHL deal was mentioned on NHL.com, which IMO should be trustworthy?

Blues get several standout performances in Traverse CIty | St. Louis Blues

Despite 1-2 record, several prospects make their mark in annual tournament

Sometimes AHL-deals aren't made public for some reason: we had exactly the same situation a couple of years ago with Robby Jackson.

I don't mind if you add Bakanov if you desire to BTW, but IMO if you do, it doesn't make sense NOT to add Luce and Guy in that case.

Yeah, but we're done in a couple days anyway.

 

[ChicagoBlues]

A little bit of distance between Peterson and Sim/Tucker/Zherenko.

I would never have goalies in my top-20, btw.

 

[ChicagoBlues]

I think I’m gonna add Evan Fitzpatrick to the next poll and then vote for him.
