It's gotta be Joki. The top 2 are certainly a lock. At #3 we might start seeing some differing opinions.

Still think Galvas probably deserves a spot on there. I'd likely vote him over Olofsson and Gilbert.

Joker here.

@Kevin Musto

Yeah I think there is going to be debate between Mitchell, Sikura and Forsling in next poll. After them comes for me Beaudin, Wise and Carlsson in some order and then it gets tricky.

[ManChild20]

I would definitely add Entwistle to the list of prospects

 

[ManChild20]

And Ejdsell, especially if we still have Forsling on the list

 

[Toews2Bickell]

Voted Joker but Sikura might be a little underrated. He’s a projected 50 point player based on NHLe. Boqvist is #1 but Sikura and Joker are probably really close. Tie goes to the position of more importance maybe...

Yup. After Joker it gets interesting. Mitchell, Sikura, Beaudin, Forsling are all in the mix and can easily be debatable with each.

Yeah it'll be interesting. Personally, my vote will be going towards Mitchell.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

Hard to go against Mitchell with comps like Petro being tossed out.

 

[jls24]

Joker. Now things get interesting...

yep, Mitchell and Wise are my next 2 names until they get voted in lol!! When you have Wise as high as I did, and you as well, he slots right in with Mitchell for me ahead of Sikura and the rest.

Nice.

Why no Altybarmakyan? I see some rank him higher than Kayumov saying Andrei looked as good or better at the U20 tourneys as a player and is a year younger.

Is Graham Knott not on the list? Anyone have any thoughts on him?

I was somewhat surprised to not see him on the list however his performance with Rockford last year was less than stellar stat wise, 4 goals 5 assists or something like that. When he played at Windsor I watched him a bit as I knew one of his teammates and its possible that he will develop into a power forward but it seems like from what I read he has a long way to go. Good shot, likes to go to the net but not the best skater.

Bust.

Terrible pick at the time and looks even worse now since the player drafted 2 spots after him was Vince Dunn. They were literally on the same team and Dunn produced better as a defenceman yet somehow we missed him.

 

[ClydeLee]

Knott was the 4th line center all year and never really seemed to be bringing much to rise up the lineup. I think he's firmly a forgotten case. Stan/Kelley had a lot of failures when drafting guys with size in the past so it seems they went on with drafting the types of forwards they know they have success with.

They adopted the skill over size philosophy after the 2015 draft which has been working wonders for them. Guys like Knott, Radke and Bondra didn't work out whatsoever.
