[Reginald Dunlop]

Thanks for getting this going!

 

[Senor Catface]

Thanks for starting this up!

Our prospect pool looks a lot more interesting compared to last year's list by Lowetide.

 

[Tom Brady]

1.Savioe
2.Wannner
3.O'Reilly
4.Akey
5.Jarventie

[Tobias Kahun]

[Bryanbryoil]

Savoie

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

Its crazy how many prospects from 2022 are no longer with the club

 

[brentashton]

Depending on what yardstick is applied, Savoie is probably the best pure prospect.

Akey on the other hand, is the prospect we most need to hit his full positional potential, at his draft position, for the organization’s benefit.

 

[Faelko]

Akey on the other hand, is the prospect we most need to hit his full positional potential for the organization’s benefit.

Big year for Akey coming up, that injury really set him back last year unfortunately.

 

[LTIR]

Wanner vs Akey should be close for #2.
Savoie is distant #1

 

[brentashton]

Wanner vs Akey should be close for #2.
Savoie is distant #1

Difference between Wanner and Akey is their draft level. 1st v 7th. I do agree that Wanner could be the better of the two.

This being the reality of drafting kids who have just passed their 18th birthday.

CORRECTION/EDIT - yes Akey was a second rounder. Same logic applies for me however.

 

[LTIR]

Depending on what yardstick is applied, Savoie is probably the best pure prospect.

Akey on the other hand, is the prospect we most need to hit his full positional potential, at his draft position, for the organization’s benefit.

Akey was a late 2nd rounder. I think we need Wanner to pan out more than Akey as long as we have Bouchard on the big club.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Top 5 and Tiers

1.Savioe - top line wing potential. Only blue chip in bad prospect system. Arrival this season or next.


2.O'Reilly - future hard ice 3C replacement. Big development year ahead with see if offensive potential manifests with junior team opportunity. Arrival three years..
3. Akey - prospective mid-size, puck mover 3 RD with some stretch upside to reach 2RD. Arrival window in three years.
4. Wanner - prospective hard ice goal suppression defender 3RD. Arrival window in two to three seasons.


5.Jarventie - second organization established AHL player with NHL games in. Recovery time on major injury with opportunity to complete for top 9 forward job in two seasons.
5.B Lavoie - big, productive mid-range shooter among the youngest of AHL top 10 goal scorers and at crossroads of NHL opportunity in Edmonton.
