[ColbyChaos]

How often do you think about the Roman Empire?

 

[Mrfenn92]

Ryan Greene

 

[clydesdale line]

Kantserov

 

[hawksrule]

Went Lardis. I like skating and goal scoring.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

EDM. After him this gets interesting.

 

[Hawkaholic]

Kantserov

 

[TLEH]

Kantserov's playoffs were extremely promising but they don't vault him above of a .5 PPG AHL D rookie season when the guys calling card isn't even offense.

Aurelian is Sandy Koufax

 

[TheFridge]

Should have just gone straight to #8, this will clearly be EDM.

Kantserov was winning last night. No need for the fascism.

Every day! Love that literate redneck SOB!

We have all summer. Why rush it.

Went Kanterserov, but really like EDM as well. Really wish I could see 2-3 years into the future to see how this shakes out for the Hawks.

Still has higher upside. Top 6 wing vs, #4 or less Dman.

I like EDM upside a tad bit more than a 4D in the NHL. Kantserov has Top 6 W upside but I'd like to see how next year goes during KHL regular season before getting really excited. I'll vote for them back to back here, just think EDM has a larger sample size and a much higher floor.

I mostly vote strictly for upside. And I just don't see it with EDM. I hope im wrong, but can't see him being anymore than a bottom pairing D.

Even if EDM only turns into a quality 3rd pair guy, that's a significant win IMO. I won't bet against him being more than that based on what he's shown at every level he's played at. Obviously though, that next step is a big one.

Just funny how much the game speed has increased over the last 20+ years. An average skater now would have been exceptional back in the day.

 

[Putt Pirate]

Lardis for me.

100%, I dont think I'd bet against him being more than that, I just dont see it happening.

 

[giza]

EDM....had him at 6. I like that Kantserov is getting some love, but I think Lardis with his top end speed, shot and scoring ability should be higher. ....him and Mustard were 3rd round draft steals!

 

[MTU34]

I think this next tier comes down to EDM/Greene/Kantserov/Lardis.

Went EDM. I don’t know that the upside is quite as high as some here think it is but I think he’s a very safe bet to carve out a career of some kind

I think it's EDM/Kantserov/Lardis/Allan. I don't like voting for goalies though.

 

[Hawkaholic]

Yeah, dont think there is much difference between EDM and Allan, they are probably back to back for me, after Kansterov and Greene

The difference is one is a year older and put up twenty five more points in their rookie pro year? Like did you watch Rockford?

In fairness to Allan he wasn't gifted PP1 time. But anyone who watches both can see EDM has more offensive upside. Allan is a better skater. Both guys have their strengths and weaknesses as players. I definitely like EDM more as a player but it isn't "by alot" either.

Wasn't Allan named Rockford's defenseman of the year?
