I like the upside of Mrsic, he can score from anywhere with his great shot. Needs to bulk up and round out his game but you gotta love a sniper with a nice highlight reel.

 

[Beauterham]

Going with Mrsic. Point per game winger in the WHL who can skate, stickhandle, shoot AND isn't undersized (he's 6 foot). Needs to improve the defensive side of his game a lot though, but if he can he's probably going to be a LOT higher on these lists the next seasons. He seems to be the epitome of an extreme boom/bust prospect: high ceiling, very low floor.

Going to stick with Peterson. I think he’ll do surprisingly well in Springfield this season and become a surprise call-up option for the 4th line within a year.

I also like Ellis, Koromyslov, Johannesson and Mrsic.

 

[ChicagoBlues]

Peterson being a very good skater, physical and having a good enough head on his shoulders is something any team could work with. He and Sylvegärd are the two wild cards.

 

[Bye Bye Blueston]

Going to stick with Peterson. I think he’ll do surprisingly well in Springfield this season and become a surprise call-up option for the 4th line within a year.

I also like Ellis, Koromyslov, Johannesson and Mrsic.

I went with koromyslov, but those guys all feel about same level.

 

[Memento]

Went with Simon Robertsson. I think he's closer to the NHL than most think, and he still has a hell of a shot.

I wouldn't be surprised if Koromyslov turns out to be better, and I hope he comes over after this year...but he's still in the KHL as of now.

Loof is someone whom I could feel makes a jump. Like a better-skating Tyler Tucker.

Mrsic is interesting. Definitely a few years away, but could be a steal.

I wouldn't sleep on McIsaac either. Solid WHL defenseman who could jump a bit up the rankings.

Dickinson would be another good option, especially a few years removed from that devastating broken femur.

Peterson doesn't have a lot of upside, but I bet he's got a shot because of his size and skating.

I still think Gaudet is underrated, even amongst Blues fans.

Johannesson is also interesting. Got him for a flyer, and even if he turns out to be AHL depth only, he's worth it.

I know it's very late in the process and we shouldn't add more names...but I still want to give a shoutout to Mathias Laferriere. I feel like he's one of those players whom, like McGing, could get a cup of coffee in the NHL for being a good organizational soldier. For a sixth round pick, that would be very impressive.

Ellis again, probably Peterson next for me.

 

[ChicagoBlues]

Let’s go Dickinson! Step into the conversation and make yourself relevant.

Tanner Dickinson puts his pants on one leg at a time. But when they’re on he lays gold records!

Cock of the walk, baby!!

 

[Snubbed4Vezina]

Koromyslov for me. Love the size and his game. Hope to see him in NA soon.

Wow! Simon Robertsson has fallen off The Earth! When The Blues drafted him and I read the scouting reports on him I thought his NHL FLOOR would be an average 2nd Liner! Now, several years later, he can't even get a handful of votes to be The Blues' 20th rated prospect!!!
I've been shocked that his coaches haven't helped him improve on his weaknesses.
At this point there are still a few players that could become NHL regulars. I've liked Colten Ellis all along, and I think Koromyslov should also become a productive NHL player. I'm going to vote for Robertsson, anyway.
