Who is your favourite prospect?(besides MCD, nurse, and Draisaitl)

[Smartguy]

Yakimov for me, posted on here saying we should grab him before his draft and when we did I was thrilled, guy had a really strong camp last year and a decent rookie year, if he can turn into a number 3c in the NHL it would be awesome guy is massive

 

[dem]

Yakimov and Platzer

 

[Zaddy]

Probably Yakimov. Really curious to see what he can do. Chase is another one that could turn out to be just a real solid 3rd line guy who can agitate the crap out of the opponents.

On D I'm very interested to see where Caleb Jones' career goes from here. I think he could be a gem. Paigin is obviously intruiging too.

Hard to narrow it down to just one guy but right now it has to be Yakimov I think.

 

[McDoused]

Simpson is a guy that I still think has a chance at an NHL career.

 

[Hockey Nightmare]

Yak2 and it's not even close.

 

[Kalost]

That would be wonderful. You should hear the Toronto local radio stations that believe the Reinhart deal was a disaster for Edmonton.

they must be jealous because its better than the Kessel return?

 

[Kalost]

for the first time in many many many years i'm actually excited about a lot of prospects that are not from the 1st round...

hard to pick a few but i think these guys could be nice impact players for us if they make it


Yakimov/Platzer/Chase


Betker/Laleggia

 

[Da McBomb]

Yakimov, Slepy, and Chase.

 

[McOilers97]

It's exciting to think about, since we have great odds that 1 or 2 of these guys will become pretty significant contributors.

Chase/Platzer/Yakimov/Slepychev/Khaira

Bear/Jones/Simpson

Hard to pick. Like Yakimov and Chase though based on limited viewings.

*I guess Reinhart is kind of in this group as well, although he's a bit farther along than most of these guys.

 

[PinSeeker]

Have said it before but Yakimov would be ridiculously valuable in a Handzus role for us.

 

[Not Robin Brownlee]

Have said it before but Yakimov would be ridiculously valuable in a Handzus role for us.

Thats what they said about Alexei Mikhnov.

 

[Digger12]

Bog, Slepy and Griff.

If that doesn't sound like a Law Firm straight out of Shrek, I don't know what else would.

 

[PinSeeker]

Thats what they said about Alexei Mikhnov.

Actually no one said that Mikhonov would be a great 3C long term, pretty sure.

 

[Not Robin Brownlee]

Actually no one said that Mikhonov would be a great 3C long term, pretty sure.

He was the next one, it seemed.

 

[Aerchon]

In order Yak 2, Kharia, and Chase.

Davidson a bit.

LB a bit.

 

[stratedge]

Khaira

Me too.

 

[Samus44]

I think Chase ends up a player.

 

[Roof Daddy]

If I can only pick one, Yakimov.

After watching tonight, Laleggia looked like he has NHL upside. Also quite impressed with Caleb Jones, the kid handles the puck with confidence, has good wheels, and certainly looked bigger than he was listed by the scouting services.

 

[StoveTopStauffer]

Slepyshev

 

[McAsuno]

Yakimov.

 

[Up the Irons]

I'll go with Yakimov, big hopes

Broissoit, b/c he's an Oilking

and Chase, just because I saw him in playoff game in Victoria. He was a stand out.

Throw in Caleb Jones, just because he would be a sweet diamond in the rough. He comes from good stock, you never know.

 

[thadd]

That would be wonderful. You should hear the Toronto local radio stations that believe the Reinhart deal was a disaster for Edmonton.

They have to spin it that way because they don't want the fans to think that their organization has been the very definition of counterproductive over the past decade.

 

[Hoodaha]

The man they call LB!

 

[Raab]

Reinhart, has tremendous upside despite what some posters would have you believe.

 

[Mr Positive]

Reinhart, has tremendous upside despite what some posters would have you believe.

I would put Reinhart with that group at the top, as rated a bit less than Nurse, and I think most here assumed that (I hope). This thread is more interesting if we're talking about guys like Yakimov.

Of that group, I have to say Yakimov. It's close between him and Broissoit though, and I'm digging LaLeggia more and more too.
