It’s the dog days of summer. Let’s get these polls started!
Smrt.Voted for Rutger to influence other GMs.
I voted. What do I win?
Yeah it is a pretty tough call. Last year I went with McGroarty and probably would have again if it wasn’t for all the drama around him. Salomonsson looks to be the real deal as a top 4 RHD. But went with Lambert as he looks ready for a big breakout.This is the most confused I have been about our prospect pool in a while. I will take a pass in round 1 and let you guys sort it out.
Remember the Marvel Comics no prize?I voted. What do I win?
At 17 he was a higher rated prospect than Mc G. I think his development path and skillset have him as a top 6 forward. Salomonsson for me is a top 4 d prospect almost by default or Pionk hate. Still has to prove himself next level...though I suppose AHL rookies of the year are not sure bets either.I voted Lambert since his trajectory has taken a serious turn for the positive after last season in the AHL.
Because nate Schmidt was "good in the room"Why is Heinola still a prospect?
Why wouldn't he be?
Why wouldn't he be?
Still eligible for the Calder trophy as NHL top rookie...So, why?
I am kind of schocked by the vote actually...Brad Lambert puts up 26 points in 17 games in the WHL playoffs, on a championship team, at same age. Mc Groarty put up 8 more points in the WJC last year, and +11 differential between him and Salomonsson. Salomonsson SEL stats aren't that different from Simon Lundmark's, there has to be something here that I don't see.I think Lambert, Salomonsson and McGroarty (disregarding the trade speculation) are close, with each having different strengths and potential.
I voted for Salomonsson. I couldn't ignore that he ended the season and playoffs as likely the top D on the champion of the Swedish Elite League as a 19 year old. Being RHD and with the top-end skating, I think he's a decent bet to be a very good RD in the top-4.
Lambert would probably be next and I think I might be a bit low on him due to some "anchor bias" that keeps him a bit lower. He had a very impressive rookie AHL season. He just doesn't yet have ideal pro size and strength for an NHL C, but I really like his development.
I'm still very high on McGroarty. I think he'll be a strong NHLer who can complement skilled linemates with smarts and puck skills. I hope that Barlow can develop into that role if McGroarty is on his way out.
I think Frei has to be added to the poll very soon.
You win the prize!!!!Because nate Schmidt was "good in the room"
