Beck for me. Two consecutive Memorial Cups, winning one this past year.


Fowler's definitely up there. But Beck comes before Fowler at this moment in my book.
It’s a photo finish between these 2 but I’m giving the edge to Fowler because of his potential to be a #1G

Beck at best is a #2C…..love them both though

Went with Beck as I see him as more blue chip. But Fowler had great numbers. My concern with him is it was behind a great team so that was a big advantage.

We are either really deep prospect wise or we have done a disservice to Beck.

Add Volokhin.

Also, Mesar now has TWO votes.

I see Fowler as one of the best when he hits his peak and i see Beck as a very good 4th/3rd liner, there's no offence in him, he cannot play on the second line.

Fowler definitely was part of a great team. However, Fowler was one of the big reasons why they were a great team.

But I also went with Beck.
Yeah I think you’re probably right. He’s an exciting prospect. I have him ranked a little lower now because I’m a little less certain of him than Beck. But he probably has more upside. Either way he’s my next choice.

Voted Fowler, our future #1
One would suspect that our presumptive future #1 goaltender would be ranked higher than our 7th best prospect. If correct, then our other higher ranked prospects must be very, very strong.

Fowler, add Volokhin - who apparently is seen as more promising than Fowler by some in the organization

Cayden Primeau had better d1 stats than Fowler.

Beck is the Habs best C draft pick in decades.

Like whom?

We don't know who but it's been alluded to a few times by Basu and Godin.

They aren't wrong - if you watch Volokhin play, none of our goalies have the athletic ability that this kid has. I still have Fowler higher because he's a winner and he's got a mix of the mindset, technical ability and athletic ability but in terms of raw upside, Volokhin is insane.

Went Florian as I think he can be more than Beck. Beck is amost ready. Xhekaj still need time.

Both will play with the Rocket next season. I'm eager to see them play together at least a few times. :)
I wouldn't be so sure, I think Florian goes back to the OHL to be a first line center in his overage year. Too many incoming guys at once for the rocket, he needs ice time. We will see!
