McNally this time for sure.

 

[canuck4life16]

Patrick McNally

 

[keslerburrows]

Going with McNally, followed by the likes of Subban, Cassels, Grenier...

But I'll say it again, McEneny should start getting some votes now.

 

[The Iron Goalie]

Went Cassels..Subban,LaBate/McEneny will be next

 

[Saturated Fats]

I'll say who I voted for, because I've been pushing for this kid since Hutton went at 10: Darren Archibald. He is going to play on this team at some point this year, and will be a bottom-6 energy guy for us for a bunch of years. He dominated the ECHL for a year and a half, and looked strong for Chicago last year.

 

[DennisReynolds]

The speed of Archibald that I've heard about concerns me so McNally

 

[Virtanen2Horvat]

I will probably go with Subban or Labate next, maybe Archibald.

 

[Pip]

Archibald, then McNally imo

 

[Hammer79]

Cassels, but I debated voting McNally.

 

[Shareefruck]

I had no idea everyone was so low on Subban.

 

[Pip]

I had no idea everyone was so low on Subban.

Because he is very likely to bust?

 

[turkulad]

Been voting for Cannata for a few rounds now. No idea why the hype on him has dried up.

 

[Pseudonymous*]

I had no idea everyone was so low on Subban.

D men the size of children dont often make it in the NHL

 

[Hammer79]

I had no idea everyone was so low on Subban.

Aside from the first round picks, none of the 2013 draft picks have been ranked. I think some people are more heavily weighing the 'closest to playing in the NHL' factor rather than looking at ceiling and likelihood of reaching it. Just because a player may take 3 or 4 years to make an impact at the NHL level due to school commitments or late bloomers doesn't make them less valuable prospects.

Add Mike Williamson and Miles Liberati.

Not enough starts last year. I voted for him this round over Archibald/Labate. If McNally has improved his play over his year off, then I could see him going here, but it's just too much of an unknown for me to vote for him at this point.

To help re-invigorate the Joe Cannata hype train, here's a couple stat lines.

Joe Cannata: GP 14 GAA 2.65 SV% .912
Eddie Lack: GP 13 GAA 3.00 SV% .899

Cannata had a better Save Percentage than Jack Campbell and Jake Allen.

 

[King of Anarchy]

If McNally doesn't win this...

This, Basically.

Though, then again. Why hasn't Kellan Lain been voted up yet.

List it a mess because no one really knows what it is based on. At least, it'll be fun to see the changes when we do it again next year.

 

[Verviticus]

we have 3rd-6th round picks that have panned out about as well as they can pan out. those are worth more than 3rd-6th round picks that have just been picked. development is worth something

 

[PG Canuck]

This is McNally's poll.

 

[Verviticus]

Just because a player may take 3 or 4 years to make an impact at the NHL level due to school commitments or late bloomers doesn't make them less valuable prospects.

sure it does. uncertainty is a negative thing

 

[Hammer79]

Probably not trade value-wise. Another club would want to develop players their way, and a recently picked player would be a blank slate.

I agree, this list is all over the place because we don't have a clear definition of what a prospect ranking is supposed to mean and what criteria we are supposed to weigh more heavily. Is this ranking based on most trade value? Closest to making an impact? Highest ceiling? Lowest bust potential? Prospects that MG seems to be excited about?

Also, not sure why Lain has slipped. MG seemed to be high on him as a possible option for the fourth line. I'm guessing it's ceiling with him, but this list is all over the map anyway.

sure it does. uncertainty is a negative thing

Management has to trust their amateur scouting. Being 18 doesn't make the player have less of a ceiling than a 21 year old in the system.

 

[PhilMick]

Because he is very likely to bust?

You can't "bust" as a 4th rounder.

Shocked at the McNally love. I just have a hard time being high on him after missing a full season of development at his age.

I am not sure why we've gotten so many complaints this year; its the same poll/ranking we do every year. The rankings from HF or THN are not weighted by a specific criteria and this is no different. It's a balance of several factors, such as potential/ability to reach it, annual progression, bust potential, NHL readiness. Prospects in general are an inexact science. There is no formula that we can use here.

Why do we care who MG is excited about, in regards to these polls? If he wants to make his own list, he can. He was also excited about Connauton, spewing false praises about him and him being NHL ready all over the radio last offseason and then they had him as a forward during training camp.

 

[ItsAllPartOfThePlan]

Cannata...Cannata...Cannata.

Mallet at 9 is the biggest red flag on this poll.
