As soon as the poll is available I'll be voting for Olofsson yet again...

 

[Randy BoBandy]

Changing my vote to Zucker. I was thinking Oloffson before, but they are about the same to me.

 

[Sharppi]

Still Zucker, can't say I have seen Olofsson enough to have formed and opinion. I'm basing my votes on the actual gameplay on the actual players that I have actually seen with my own eyes (via broadcast of course).

 

[Circulartheory]

Originally going to Zucker but decided to go for the mystery box

Olofsson.

 

[tyratoku]

Olofsson should have been the #3 but oh well. Going for him again.

 

[BusQuets]

Taking Gustav Olof's son.

 

[Engebretson]

Olofsson here. Zucker next up...

 

[Jarick]

Zucker.

 

[this providence]

Been voting for Olofsson since #2, after Dumba, so...

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Zucker, then Olofsson.

Both have 2nd round pedigrees, but Zucker also has two PPG+ years of NCAA and one almost PPG year in the AHL. Olofsson's one 8 point year in the NCAA doesn't measure up.

Comparing points between a scoring forward on a good D1 team and a defensmen on a bad D1 team? In a league where its pretty damn common for small PPG forwards to not translate to the NHL?

Was Johan Larsson a better prospect than Brodin because he had 36 points, while Brodin had 6?

No, but that's all I have to go off of. I saw one of Colorado College's 30 games last year, so what do I really know about Gustav Olofsson?

Zucker's goal scoring has translated to 2 different levels, three if you want to pro-rate his two stints in the NHL.

At least in your example, Brodin would've had 1st round (top 10) pedigree to fall back on.

Ha speaking of Larsson, this is pretty funny now

#5 Gustav Olofsson

 

[Poacher]

Zucker, olofsson, phillips

 

[TaLoN]

I have Lucia ahead of Phillips.

Also... would Keranen count as a prospect for us?

 

[Puckcrazy51]

Zucker, olofsson, phillips

This based on fact, same draft year 2011, Philips best player in Iowa(ANL) last year, Lucia not played against men yet and wasn't best player on his college team

 

[Wild48]

Can anyone explain, or link me to an article that explains Olofson's rise? I remember hearing good things when he was drafted, but did not follow him at CC at all.

I had no idea his stock had risen this far.

 

[Scoutguy77]

It hasn't everywhere...sometimes on here its a herd mentality.

I haven't seen him enough myself to jump on bandwagon, that's just me.

 

[Caior89]

Tough one btw The Zuck and Olofsson

I don't think Phillips will make the NHL with this team, I think Lucia still has a very good chance to reach his ceiling.

 

[Jaykay]

Number six?
