This is where Nygren comes in..

Add Hawkey.

 

[Shutdown]

Nygren, add Hawkey.

Bennett and Sekac are next for me. Probably Sekac first since he's fighting for a roster spot this season.

I'm going Sekac, Reway then Bennett. Reway demolished the WJC, has a boat load of talent and it's a matter of getting his attitude and maturation down.

The last part of your post is probably why I'm hesitat in putting him above a guy like Pateryn, who I see as a sure thing in terms of being a bottom pairing NHLer. (so Sekac, Bennett, Pateryn, Reway are my next 4)

 

[Agalloch]

Greg Pateryn. He's NHL ready.

 

[Grant McCagg]

I chose Bennett....always felt he's been underrated on here. Add Evans.

 

[Gabe84]

Tough one...

I feel Hudon and Thomas are under-appreciated. Not that they should be higher, but I figured they'd get more votes these past 3-4 rounds. I think all these prospects, starting at position 5, are all interchangeable. I'll add to that list Pateryn, Nygren, Reway and Sekac. They're all pretty even in my book. I'm fine with Andrighetto being ahead of all of them given his performance at a higher stage though.

I think Bennett will be near the top of that list near the end of the year. He'll do great in Hamilton in my opinion. He'll definitely turn some heads.

With all that said, I went with Pateryn. He's NHL ready, has a great package for a defensive defenseman and will get his time with the big club this year (could be the year he sticks with the big club for good).

Add Hawkey.

After watching Thomas several times last season, I wouldn't put him in my top 20.....

 

[NeptunesTrident]

Sekac, add Jake Evans

 

[loadie]

I went with Pateryn.

 

[Wats]

Surprised I was only one to vote Gregoire.

add Condon

 

[Mrb1p]

We have too much depth and not enough quality. We should start moving some kids I think. Thomas will not pan out with the team but I'm sure he's still worth a pick. Kinda like Leblanc, but instead of waiting until he has no value we trade him when we know we don't need him.

Voted Nygren.... Again. Add that Evans

 

[EveryDay]

[Mue]

Nygren. Add Condon.

 

[Mrb1p]

Interested in what happens to Bozon... I liked the player a lot. Wish him the best and really hope he can build on that. Do we have news on him?

The Habs want him to play in the AHL next year.

 

[Habs100]

I'm going Sekac, Reway then Bennett. Reway demolished the WJC, has a boat load of talent and it's a matter of getting his attitude and maturation down.

Reway all the way.

10 points in 5 games at the world juniors, 15 points in 9 playoff games in the Q, as well as a strong 62 pts in 42 regular season games, and a fantastic first camp with the Habs last summer.

I see more in him than Nygren. I know nothing about Sekac, so I refuse to rank him. (i give him a grade of "to be determined"). I will rank him after training camp this september.

 

[MXD]

This is where I go Tokarski till he's in.
Add Dumont.

He's also 5'8 and is a headcase.
Skillwise, he'd probably already be in.

 

[QuebecPride]

Tim Bozon, add Hawkey.

 

[Guilliam]

Bennett. Add that Hawkey goalie.

 

[TT1]

Nygren/Reway/Sekac/Pateryn with only 2 spots left

 

[Sthabs]

would be fun to make those rankings again after the pre season once we ve seen couple of them playing.
