I went off the board. I think one of our most valuable prospects is Prosvetov, so I went with him.
If we are asking which one has a higher chance of panning out, my answer (right now) would be Jenik.

When two choices get >40% of the vote, you can probably just put the lesser right behind the winner.

Fair enough, consider Jenik #4

Timmins. Arguably he could be 3rd.

I went Timmins as well. I considered Jenik, but Timmins has shown he can play in the NHL and still has upside. Granted... I do expect Jenik to be a real nice piece, so it was close for me.

Getting Timmins may go down as one of Armstrong’s shrewdest moves. He will be a Top 4 D soon.

Big fan of Jenik. He showed plenty of defensive responsibility in his brief NHL stint last season which impressed me. Hayton and Soderstrom are no slouches in that department but he's a step ahead of them for me.

The footspeed and quickness worries me a little. He is a good skater once he gets into his stride, but doesn't have great bursts. At least from what I remember around his draft year and some clips I watched of him playing for CO. Both Armstrong and other commentators gushed about his WJC performance though, maybe I should revisit that.

I'm a big fan too. He hasn't looked out of place anywhere he's played. He has a nice scoring touch, plays with an edge and is not afraid to drop the gloves. I view him as the missing Tkachuk brother as far as his playing style.

To me, Hayton looks like he's lacking confidence on the ice. He's got plenty of skill, just needs to assert himself if he's going to succeed.
