Tomorrow the final list will be posted in a separate thread, and you'll be able to discuss it and post your own top 25 list there.

 

[Jimson Hogarth*]

Pettit. good list. not much to quibble about.

 

[StrictlyCommercial]

Well that's 5 players in a row that I have Gaudette over. 6th times the charm?

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Tate Olsen because he was a childhood friend.

Tate Olsen because he was a childhood friend.

When he becomes an NHL superstar I fully expect you to provide us with free Canucks tickets to every game.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

When he becomes an NHL superstar I fully expect you to provide us with free Canucks tickets to every game.

If he becomes a superstar, I'll get everyone here and their mother, free tickets to 1st rows seats behind the Canucks bench.

If he becomes a superstar, I'll get everyone here and their mother, free tickets to 1st rows seats behind the Canucks bench.

I'm posting so I can prove I voted and am eligible for those free tickets one day.Can I bring a GF instead of my mom,though? I can't stand her constant negativity,

I'm even gonna vote for Tate Olsen,he does have good size and some decent upside.I would have picked him above Carl Neill FWIW.

 

[TheWanderer]

Tate-O's, cuz precioussssss

 

[Dr Awesome]

Tate Olsen , because that cool name. If he makes the show I'm calling him Taters very unoriginal I assume.

dumb question: why is kenins considered a prospect but horvat isn't?

 

[Nuckles]

dumb question: why is kenins considered a prospect but horvat isn't?

Not dumb, it was debated for a while many polls ago.

http://www.hockeysfuture.com/whatmakesaprospect/

If a prospect is a skater (forward, defenseman) and has played in 65 NHL games or more before the completion of the season of his 24th birthday; or, if a goaltender has played in 45 NHL games before the completion of the season of his 24th birthday, that player will be considered graduated to the NHL. Conversely, if a player completes the season of his 24th birthday without passing those milestones, then that player will no longer be considered a prospect by Hockey’s Future, regardless of the player’s status with his NHL club.

European players who sign their first NHL contract at or above the age of 22 have three seasons from the time they sign that contract to meet the above criteria. Those European players below the age of 22 that have signed a NHL contract will be subjected to the criteria in section one.

Kenins was a European player so the age criteria doesn't exclude him yet, and he has only played 35 NHL games so the 65 game limit doesn't exclude him either.

as a gritty, PK guy who wins draws...Pettit will play more games than anyone on this list

 

[GarryValkyrie]

Going with Ludwig well because this year is probably his final symphony. And he has wheels.

 

[Nucker101]

Think it would be fun if everyone included where they'd rank Clendening and Forsling in their personal ranks(but still name 25 current prospects).
