Solberg for me but Clara is right up there too.

 

[Hey234]

Solberg is the obvious choice here IMO. Next is where it gets interesting.

The scouts and a few other articles I read seemed to indicate that Pettersson has real top 6 upside. I think he's a sleeper good pick. The other rating high for me is Clara. Hard to ignore his success last season. Colangelo played pretty well and I don't think that can be ignored either.

Sidorov and Dionicio both are talented but need to prove more IMO. I think Gaucher, Myatovic, Pastujov, Nesterenko, Terrance, and Hinds are all in the same group for me of players that I see as NHL players but all have flaws to overcome.

As of now, I think I would go (in this order) Solberg, Pettersson, Clara, Colangelo.

Absolutely agree with this, but I have Clara before Pettersson.


Biggest problem is where to rank a guy like Suchanek - who played a really good season - in comparison to the skaters.

 

[forever1922]

I think Clara will actually turn into a much more important player than Solberg but he's still off and blocked by Dostal and perhaps Clang or Suchanek to an extent. Also goalies, schmolies.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Stan the man clearly the choice here. I'm going Clara next

 

[Kalv]

I'm a fan of Stan

Well, for those split between Solberg and Clara here, looks like they will be on the same SHL team next year

 

[JAHV]

I think Solberg is the clear choice for his upside. The only other one I considered was Colangelo, simply because he played in 3 NHL games and did not look out of place. The goalies are kind of a mystery to me.

Thats pretty cool, an Norwegian and Italian on same team. Norsemen made up the majority of Varangian guard that defended the emperor of the Byzantine(Eastern Roman) empire.
Solberg will be like the Varangian guard protecting Rome lol from goals being scored.

 

[FiveHoleTickler]

SWolberg

 

[91Fedorov]

Are we going to have a tie breaker vote? This one looks like it's really coming down to the wire.

Yeah should just go right to the next poll. Next one is gonna be close between Clara and Colangelo.
The Italian or the Italian American. After those 2 prospects, I have no clue how to rank the rest.

probably Pettersson would follow after the Clara and Colangelo.

Would’ve made it by now if I didn’t have to work all day, I’ll do it tonight if I can remember

 

[Ducks]

Having a prospect like Stian Solberg at 5 is pretty crazy. He'd be in the top 2-3 on a lot of teams and maybe even 1 on some.

 

[ScarTroy]

Also crazy to think he’d be at 7 if Pat actually let his prospects marinate like he said. Absolutely wild.

Kinda funny that hell prob be #2 or 3 next year cause gauthier zellweger and most likely luneau will graduate.

I think one or two of the forwards that get a real opportunity will overtake him. Pettersson, Massé, Terrance and bunch of AHL bound guys are primed to take him on, it's simply a numbers game: about 7 vs 1 and one or two will have breakouts. The talent is not that dissimilar.
