My God what an awful prospect group
Trying to choose from the remaining list:
Kind of weird, admittedly.Can I ask why Kolosov and Zavragin aren't on this poll, because both should be contenders here.
Edit: NM, skaters are separated from goalies. Not sure why.
My God what an awful prospect group
Between Rizzo and Attard but neither would be because of ceilingWent Rizzo here. One of the more skilled guys remaining in the group. He’s a bit older tho

Some would argue its thr 5th most improved.But it is not the worstestest so its a win. Good job GM. Winning
Ciernik
Agreed but the gap is so big I’m not sure what to prioritize. Attard seems like an NHL player. I think there are 4-5 guys who have higher ceilings but don’t trust the Flyers to get them thereMost of the guys I like at this point have a lot more projection to them still. Sotheran, Gill, & Ciernik for examples. The more advanced guys that are left to me don’t really strike me as middle to upper lineup potential. A lot of bottom lineup guys or guys who just won’t make it imo.
My gut tells me he’s a tweener as well, but he has a great skill set when the puck is on his stick. I will bet on high end skill - it’s just too hard to find.Shouldn't Attard not be on here? He's already 25. Isn't that the cut-off we always did for the polls? But Attard surprised me in his sample. Fortunately, he has nowhere to play in this bottom 10 defense unit.
My gut feeling is he's a tweener and not an NHL player. I don't think the physical abilities are quite up to par. But who knows?
Bump just had a pretty good D+2 freshman year -- Rizzo wasn't even in college until D+3 and was comparable. Only seen him 1-2 times, but I think Bump has NHL physical traits, decent skill. There's some depth role projectability.
Kaplan still has a standout skill-set in this shallow pool. But it has to showcase itself with more production this year. There will be usage available at BU.
Ciernik absolutely should be in the running on paper. I've just never watched him in a game.
