[Nucker101]

Hunter's offensive upside wins out for me.

 

[Sharpshooter]

Linden Vey.

Most ready to crack the lineup full-time.

 

[The Iron Goalie]

Hunter's offensive upside wins out for me.

Agreed...too good to pass over at this point. Voted Shinkaruk.

 

[Verviticus]

still going with shinkaruk

 

[me2]

All the way with Linden Very

Proven > ppg at ahl

 

[Powder]

I go by who has the most trade value just because that entails everything, from who's most NHL-ready to who has the biggest upside. But that's still subjective... Shinkaruk for me at this point.

Going to go McCann next just because of the Benning "2 or 3 GMs already called me about McCann" comment. I doubt that happened with Jensen.

This guy gets it.

 

[Jimson Hogarth*]

I really like Shinkaruk but I can't ignore Vey's ppg in the AHL

 

[Lundface*]

This guy gets it.

You're ridiculously drunk off Bennings kool-aid, it's getting pretty funny

 

[Get North]

Hunter Shinkaruk, sure Linden Vey and Jensen are more proven but Shinkaruk is likely going to be the best out of them all.

Whens the last time the canucks had a prospect hit a ppg in over 40+ AHL games?

 

[denkiteki]

Decided to go Shinkaruk, who is by far our best boom/bust prospect (in the sense that he can be the best but also probably has the best chance of being a bust too... at least out of all our "top prospects").

 

[alternate]

Went Shink cuz of his sweet mits.

Next for me is between Gaunce and McCann.

After that, Jensen or Vey. Then probably Hutton.

Also, remove Archibald. He's not a prospect. Friesen deserves to be on the list over Archibald.

Steve kariya?

Gaunce damnit

Has nothing to do with Benning or Kool-aid. Has everything to do with the kid's numbers and his fit on the 3rd line.

It's not like a kid who has 5 points in 18 games in the NHL is a bust or a boon. He can play the game, has the ability, and his numbers when compared to even a guy like Kesler, not to say that he'll be the next Kesler, gives one the impression that he can play in the NHL moreso than other prospects who haven't played a single pro game against men.

By the way, Kesler, had 5 point in 23 games as a 3rd liner when he started with the Nucks in 03-04 and 23 points in the next full year. Maybe Vey puts up more, maybe less, but at this point, I am going to put forth that if he puts in a full 82 game season that Vey will be around the same point mark. Will that ensure a successful career? No. However, I believe from what i've seen of him that he can do that.

 

[Hammer79]

I'm not ready to get on the shrinkwrap bandwagon yet until I see that he's fully recovered from missing a full season of development. Maybe in the next couple picks...

I went with McCann.

 

[LaVar]

Hunter.

 

[WonderTwinsUnite]

Shinkaruk

 

[vanuck]

Gotta go with Shink here IMO.

Why's Archibald not a prospect?

 

[Canuckz]

You're all wrong - Dane Fox

 

[Virtanen2Horvat]

Shinkaruk no doubt.

 

[maroon 6]

Shinkaruk should be #1
