HF Habs: 2024 Habs Prospect rankings #5

[McGuires Corndog]

Chose Hage but couldn’t have went wrong with a vote to Roy or Beck here imo

Fowler very much in the mix as well.

Fowler very much in the mix as well.

Rank 4 to 10 are pretty arguable.

They all have interesting attributes and they also have flaws.

 

[NewDef]

Go with Fowler but Roy was close to me.

Roy almost feel like he graduated to me so I've gone with my fav goalie prospect in the last 15 years or so.

Roy needs to play with good players to exercise his pounce style so I don't see why he'd go back down...

I would be disappointed in Hage.

Hage was a mid-late 1st round pick. Expecting more than that from Hage is unrealistic at this point.
If you look at prospects from Roy's draft year, outside of a few of the top 10 picks + Wyatt Johnson, nobody has done much better.

Coronato, Othmann, Samoskevich, Mailloux, Zellweger, Stankoven, Raty, etc. have all been developing well, and some of them could end up star NHL players, and all of them have spent much of the season in the ahl.

Roy
He put up huge numbers in the Q and in the world juniors, then nice numbers in the ahl, and had a solid start to the nhl. He scored 7 pts in his last 14 nhl games playing only 12 min a night.

If Hage after 3 years has done the equivalent, we would be very happy

I hope we get more from Hage in 3 years time...good thing is he had a seemingly great year in the USHL so here's to hoping he builds on that

I am aware of what I said.

If Hage is at Roy's level in his D+3, I will be disappointed.

Roy again, and looks like I'd still ve voting Roy next thread lol

These rankings suck, as usual.

Can you name a lot fo 21ist overall range picks that were ahead of Roy in the last 4 drafts ?

Either you underrate Roy a good bit or you don't know what a prospect is.

Right?

Demidov
Mesar
Hutson
Mailloux
Beck

This is the real order

Maybe I underrate Roy or you underrate Hage.

I expect Hage to have two great NCAA seasons, then start in the AHL and then do better than Roy did in the NHL.

Pick range is irrelevant, as Roy as evidenced.

You think Reinbacher is not a top 5 prospect?

I am not surprised.

It's the "disappointed " part of your post that was the problem. Roy has had similar or better development curve after his draft than the majority of players drafted in first rounds.

I am aware of that. Montreal got an awesome pick with Roy. I expect Hage to do better.

 

[Guhlay]

Going with Fowler since #3 and until he's chosen.

Will be a key piece (top 5 contributor) on our next cup winning team if he reachs his upside.

Can Roy, Mailloux and co be that? I doubt it....

That could be his ceiling. But there's also probability of attaining that ceiling to factor in.

Very exciting prospect though.

I am not surprised.

You have Hage really high, who still has a long way of muscle building and development. Injuries could happen and /or bad development.

Beck is massively underrated here... he's definitely ahead of Reinbacher for me atm.
Mesar same story, underrated and misunderstood.

I have him in my top 6 though... next year he'll be in the top 5 im sure

That is very telling.

Hage should’ve been 4…..Hage all day

 

[Kaiden Ghoul]

Roy imo

 

[habsterr]

Voted Roy, very likely atleast middle six forward should go very high.

Roy

 

[domiwroze]

Went with Fowler. I voted him ahead of Mailloux.

I simply believe he's the next big thing in net for us, I have zero doubt with this guy. Watched about 20 or so games, everygame i've watched, he convinced me that he will play as a #1 goalie in the NHL. Best goalie prospect since Carey Price.

Market value : Hage -> Roy -> Fowler ( due to C / W / G )
Present day talent : Roy -> Fowler -> Hage
Ceiling potential : Hage -> Fowler -> Roy
Floor potential : Fowler -> Roy -> Hage
Game breaker potential : Fowler -> Hage -> Roy

Hage and Roy are very close behind though.
