Michael Del Colle, too. There are a bunch. Size, skating and shot don’t ever hurt a prospects chances though.Perlini has the holy trifecta, but he needs a seeing eye dog on skates.

I changed it.Hey @RoyalHabs - there is a visitor option. And vote changing is enabled for this poll. Do the right thing?
@Lucbourdon and @Kreider Luvs Goalies and @shotvalley - you guys can think about it too?
There is a consensus draft going on on the main prospect board right now. There is also a mock draft forum on this site. This thread is a TEAM board mock. Fans of the TEAM who post on this forum are the ones supposed to be inflaming outcomes. If fans from other teams vote on other forums then the entire exercise is completely pointless.
Just change your vote to the visitor option.
If you want to take a census after the poll locks and give me the real count.Same.
And Broberg is the only one with votes from other fans. Other players in the poll are all Yotes fans.
I changed it.
I meant no harm whatsoever lol
Voting is fun
He’s been great this playoffs it seems. He’s the kind of player you want in the playoffs. He hasn’t been a center for two years, iirc. He’s a pure winger like Brink and Kaliyev. He’s also 11 months older than them.I voted Lavoie because there had been some talk about his playoff performances and he is listed as a C in addition to playing wing, so that versatility is nice relative to Brink or Kaliyev. Plus, you cant teach size, although I am not certain how well Lavoie uses it.

Lavoie has had an entire extra development year. Eligibility at minor levels doesn’t mirror eligibility for NHL draft.Mayelbe the center thing is overstating his ability to play there, since he hasn't done so in a while. But I also look at that as one of those factors as to how Hayton may have been endearing to management. It gives the impression that if you can play a second position, you know where everyone is on the ice, and not just knowing your own assignment.
The age thing has become a topic as of late, but if the talent and production is there, that is less of a concern to me if you are 6-11 months older. Relatively speaking, these are all peers. It's a different story if we were talking an overager relative to an 18 year old, although some players develop far later.

I think Vanek was more of a speed, possession, ply driver. Is Kaliyev more in the Hoffman or Vrbata vein of opportunistic sniper? Or maybe Galchenyuk who’s a little more multifaceted but primarily just looks to use the shot.Who's a good comparable for Kaliyev? I want to say Alexei Kovalev, but Kovalev leaned more toward assists and Kaliyev is more of a goal guy. I think the comparison is fair though in terms of consistency of effort.
Edit: Prospect board uses Vanek. I think that's fitting.
I see him as an opportunistic sniper, but he makes the opportunity by slipping into the right areas.I think Vanek was more of a speed, possession, ply driver.

Tough to say. We just canned basically our entire amateur scouting staff. Chayka seems like like players with late birthdays. That’s about the only common thread we can find. Normally he goes for “premium” positions, meaning D or C.Who do you guys think Chayka would like?
