PS: Is this list going to 40 prospects? I'm not saying we *should*, but mathematically, we *could*.......

I'm going until we run out or you all tell me to stop (though I may stop if we no longer get nominations/interest dies).

So far, we're still getting 60ish votes, which is still pretty good!

Moverare, add Sodergran.

Let's see if the Kings' "highest IQ in his draft" can bring it back to NA!

Moverare? I personally wouldn't have him above Durzi imo. I went with Ingham here.

 

[Statto]

Our prospect list is insane. Ingham projects to be our backup When Quick calls it a day and at this rate he won’t make our top 25. The Kings are very high on him but it’s very hard to project where these guys end up. Equally I can understand why people have voted the way they have... happy days.

I have a question concerning Sean Durzi. When we acquired him he seemed to be a major part of the package. Now he is outside our top 20 prospects. My question is: Did he regress so much as a prospect or are we such a deep team?

I believe that most wanted him to take a bigger step than he did in his first year pro. I had the chance to watch 3 Reign games live last year, and Durzi seemed nervous with the puck in the offensive zone where it used to be a strength of his game. He also has work to do in his own zone, which was a knock of his game in the O as well.

I think it's way too early to give up on him, but the season he had knocked him down in many people's views. Moverare, for example, is the same age as Durzi but is 3 inches bigger and played all-situations for a championship team in the SHL. Understandably, I think most have swapped them in their rankings.

I think Durzi was defensively better than Clague, but offensively Clague was a lot, lot better (he is so much better shooter than Durzi). They are about same age, Clague is 2nd year pro. And just like Clague, Durzi is still physically immature - he needs to add 10-15 lbs of muscle.

Durzi didn't get that much chance to show his skills, because Clague and LaDue got most of pp-time. I'm not sure, but maybye even Austin Strand got more pp-time than Durzi. Now LaDue is gone, so hopefully Durzi gets more ice/pp-time.

Grundstrom and the first, in my opinion, were the bigger pieces.

Durzi did fall in the depth chart, though

No, thank you for creating all of these rankings threads/polls in the first place!
