[jetsfaneh]

Vote Lemieux
Nominate Foley

 

[Deif]

Lemieux will probably win this and I voted for him in the last poll but I went with Comrie.

Add Appleton.

 

[Hank Chinaski]

Nominating Tanev.

 

[Aavco Cup]

I want to vote Foley.

 

[10Ducky10]

Comrie

 

[Deif]

Is 10 the max number of poll options? Seems like we could go up to 15 pretty easily.

 

[heilongjetsfan]

Voted Stanley. 4th time's the charm? Add Foley.

 

[CanWin]

Vote Stanley.

Nominate Foley.

 

[sully1410]

This board hates Stanley lol.

Nominate Connor McDavid

 

[garret9]

This board hates Stanley lol.

Nominate Connor McDavid

I don't hate him. I just don't view him as good enough or proven enough to go yet.

 

[Daximus]

Lemieux add Cederholm.

 

[Deif]

This board hates Stanley lol.

Nominate Connor McDavid

He has his flaws. But he'll probably be voted in within the next 3 or 4.

If I recall, you said your (or someone elses?) draft model had Stanley ranked as a 3rd rounder. Where was Green ranked in the same model? I'd assume 2nd round?

Also, would you vote Green over Stanley on this prospects list?

 

[kxx]

Finally Armia. Thought he'd be higher as per actually having played in over 40 NHL games. (!)

Went with Lemieux - though close with Comrie. Watched some highlights of Lemieux recently and get why people were excited about him.

I essentially have Lemieux, Armia, and quite a few of the others in a very similar tier over the next bit.

I did have Green ahead of Stanley pre-draft. It's not huge, but I did.

 

[Georgetown Al*]

I wish the poll would give us the option of picking more than one cause for me its Eric Comrie and Logan Stanley

Many Thanks Hank!

So I did not vote.

K I will vote Eric Comrie!

 

[truck]

Lemieux

Next - not sure.

Harkins, Niku, Poolman, Green and Stanley in no particular order. Poolman will probably play in the NHL, the others are longer shots with more upside IMO.

I am not in a rush to pick Comrie. He is a goalie - they are always a crap shoot and he wasn't special last year.

His numbers weren't great but the team was beyond a tirefire. I thought he did well for a first year pro thrown into the fire.

 

[AngelicAssassin*]

Lemieux

add Foley

Two issues though that:

Even the top AHL goalie prospects struggle to make it as NHL plus goalies.

Hellebuyck was on a tire fire team though too.

Thankfully a 46 game sample isn't all telling - still wasn't a great year.

Agreed although I think we can both agree Helle was way more advanced than Comrie last season (hence, the better numbers).

Comrie needs to take a step forward this year otherwise it's not looking too hot.

Goalies

 

[Guilty Party]

It was between Comrie, Lemieux and Stanley for me.
Went with Lemieux.

Nominating Foley.

 

[mcpw]

I don't like this list.

Went with De Leo.
