[Virtanen2Horvat]

Linden Vey

 

[Verviticus]

so far hunter shinkaruk is the only vote ive agreed with on concensus, lol

 

[Virtanen2Horvat]

Can't wait to see our future team!

Shinkaruk - Fox? - Jensen
Virtanen - Horvat - Kassian
Guance - McCann - Bonino
Matthias - Richardson - Dorsett

I really hope Fox explodes into the NHL.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Tough choice between Vey and Hutton. Went Vey because of his great AHL play.

Dorsett and Richardson will be out before McCann and Virtanen step into the line up. Maybe Grenier, Cassels etc. to replace them.

Who is the #31 ranked prospect. I can't wait to find out.

 

[Verviticus]

that joke is funnier every thread

 

[Dead Cat Bounce]

This exercise is hilarious.

Linden Vey, given his production in the AHL, is easily the Canucks top prospect.

Others may pass him in the next few years but, at the moment, Vey is the man.

Voted cassels

Vey shouldn't be counted as a prospect

 

[Domecile]

Hutton hopefully.

 

[Cogburn]

All forwards, no D but Corrado....Oh YEAH! (Kool-aid man)

 

[Addison Rae]

Linden Vey

 

[Love]

Voted cassels

Vey shouldn't be counted as a prospect

Why not? He's only played 18 NHL games.

 

[palefire]

I'm thinking that the guy who was picked #36 three weeks ago should be ahead of the guy who was acquired straight up for the #50 three weeks ago.

It depends what you mean by top prospect.

Vey is the closest to having an impact in the NHL. That doesn't make him our top prospect in my books. When I vote for top prospect, I vote for the guy who I think will provide the greatest total benefit to our franchise. If Vey ends up having a better career than pretty any of the guys listed above him, we have made some serious mistakes in drafting.

Horvat, Virtanen, Shinkaruk and McCann should all have significantly better careers than Vey.

Gaunce, Jensen and Corrado are much closer to his potential impact, IMO, but I'd have them all above him due to ceiling.

Michael Zalewski losing to Other at #30

OP, I know it's a minor thing but it's spelled "McCann", not "Mccann". Spelling mistakes annoy me, especially when they're consistent.

Crazy to think how low Vey has fallen. I know he isn't the highest potential prospect but he's put up great numbers in the AHL, numbers that if Jensen put up, maybe Jensen would actually deserve his ranking. Definitely has 2nd line potential.

 

[rypper]

voted Vey because he's the most NHL ready. could have picked demko on potential though.

Let's just hope he surprises

 

[Blue Suede Shoes]

I will be thrilled if Vey can become a second liner. I'm not convinced at this point. It's not like he's a sure-fire NHLer. He is waiver eligible, so he will definitely be playing on our NHL team this year - however, he could still bust. Just as other prospects could still bust.

What I'm saying is, just because Vey is so close to the NHL, doesn't make him an NHLer.

So I'll vote Hutton here, due to his upside. Hutton had a mammoth year last season, setting records for his school and scoring the most goals in college hockey (IIRC). He has tremendous talent.

Michael Zalewski losing to Other at #30

Not sure if joking, but Zalewski should be in the top 12-14 guys.

 

[SighReally]

Only on this board could a prospect who flounders in the AHL for more than half the season and play well with two of the best players in the NHL for 5 games could be voted higher than a player who has been near PPG for majority of his AHL career.

Vey for me.

 

[Wilch]

Hutton by a country mile.

Has top pairing potential.

Only concern is getting him locked up before he has a chance to Schultz the Canucks.
