[Dr Jan Itor]

Probably have ~5 pretty close to each other right here:

Bankier, Spacek, Hunt, ROR, Masters. In some order.

Bankier first. 6'2" center. Can't really ask for better improvement from draft year to D+1.

 

[57special]

Going Bankier, but probably more because I really want him to work out. Could easily have picked Hunt, or a couple of others.
Nvm, changed my vote to Hunt. I think he’s a sure thing to play some NHL games, while Bankier is more of a maybe.

 

[57special]

Out of the first ten, which 5 players have the highest likelihood of being NHL regulars in your opinion? I’d say;
1 - Faber
2- Wallstedt
3- Ohgren
4- Yurov
5 - Marat

HM - Peart

 

[AKL]

They're all kinda the same level at this point..

Kumpulainen and Bankier are the same word in different fonts, you just hope they can be 3rd line centers someday.
Spacek just had the one standout tournament and he's riding that.
Haight's got a lot of skill but big questions around if he can put it all together.
O'Rourke's kinda fallen off a little bit the last year or two, and his upside was always a bit of a question mark to begin with.

Gonna go with Hunt just because he's been the most promising the longest and hasn't given any reason to doubt him lately either.

1. Wallstedt
2. Khusnutdinov
3. Yurov
4. Ohgren
5. Stramel

Didn’t include Broccoli cause he’s already an NHL regular.

Shouldn't be in the poll then

 

[Digitalbooya]

Shouldn't be in the poll then

The mob would lose their shit if I left him off.

1. Wallstedt
2. Khusnutdinov

5. Stramel

So...

0. Faber
1. Wallstedt

Etc.

 

[57special]

Once again, everyone is wrong but me.

What are you on about? Nobody disagreed with you.

These are very unofficial polls. You don't need to still be pouty about Faber being #2.

 

[BagHead]

These are very unofficial polls. You don't need to still be pouty about Faber being #2.

And yet these polls are just as correct as the "official" prospect rankings. Either we're all a bunch of geniuses, or Pronman and Wheeler can't predict the future. Probably it's the former.

We might all be geniuses, but Pronman and Wheeler are the smart ones. They are getting paid for their guesses and we aren't.

I guess in today's terms the Pronman and Wheeler are influencers and the rest of us are users.

True, but I'd rather do what I'm doing now for money than what they're doing for money. I like writing and talking about hockey, so I would never do it for a living.

I made YouTube videos for a bit around a hobby that I loved. Now I do neither.

I'm not pouty. The only ones pouting are the ones trying to control what I say and how I conduct my rankings. Guarantee if the situation was flipped around and Faber was a badger then I would be getting called a homer. The typical "office politics" of this board.

I left Faber off of the answer to the question because, in my opinion, he's already reached NHL regular status. He has zero competition, not only for a 3rd pairing spot but also the top 4 spot. He doesn't have to do a damn thing to be an NHL regular outside of prove he's better than Addison or Johansson. Shouldn't be too hard. In fact, I expect Spacek to be an NHL regular pretty soon too. Far sooner than Jack Peart, Daemon Hunt, Ryan O'Rourke, or any of the LD prospects stuck behind a mountain of depth.

There is... a solution staring you in the face. Just join the Gophers side. It's so easy once you start.

You can't just say that and not give us a link to your channel. When you do leave the link just remember to tell all of us to "like, comment, and subscribe" because it's a law or something. Right?

The idea of making Youtube videos kind of intrigues me. The process of making the videos is what interests me more than anything. I can't even turn on a facetime thing on my phone, so it's all pretty much a foreign concept to me.

I put Faber on my list due to the fact he's played a grand total of 8 NHL games (2 regular season and 6 Playoff). Addison had 6 NHL games in his first NHL season (3 regular season and 3 Playoff). Both were age 20 at the time. As a general rule I have players eligible for the Calder as prospects.

I completely agree with your assessment of Faber and the easier road he has compared to the LD. I think Stramel falls into that same boat when it comes to FWDs. He just needs to be better than Bankier and Kump and he's in the lineup as at least the 4C when he turns pro.

lol Those videos are embarrassing and nerdy.

Since you mentioned being intrigued, I'll share my experience. Making the videos is a lot of tedious work. I only started to hit a groove after about a year, but by then I was burning out. To make my videos I'd first have to create a deck, which took upwards of 10-20 hours, depending on the complexity of the thing, and then I'd have to write a script, check for factual errors in the scrip and the deck I'd built (inevitably missing plenty of them and getting told so in the comments), edit the script. record the audio, edit the audio, download hundreds of pictures, put each one into the video in just the right place to line up with what I was saying using video editing software, and then the video was done. But the work wasn't, because then I'd have to create a thumbnail (I used my own photo editing skills, which are limited), research relevant keywords in similar videos to rate highly for the YouTube algorithm, make a title and description and, finally, upload.

So each video represents at least 50 hours of work, some more (especially the first one, before I really knew what I was doing), and the monetary reward was infinitesimal. I earned some small amount of money for it, but it would have been far more lucrative to just work second job at minimum wage for a year and a half. It didn't help my cause that I was adverse to making clickbait. I hate clickbait passionately, and I won't be a part of the problem. Of course, it wasn't all about the money for me, either. In fact, I sort of wish I'd never started worrying about money in the first place, it ruined most of the enjoyment. The first 20 or so videos I made were a lot of fun to record and produce, but after that I should have just started making them when I felt the itch to, rather than do it as regular content, algorithm be damned.

If you're still wanting to see the end product despite my warnings, here you are. They're really not worth watching unless you're into MTG, and even then I'm not sure of their value. I fully expect to be made fun of around here until the end of HFBoards for this.

f*** that. Never be afraid to show your passion. Societal definitions of "cool" are bullshit anyway. You be you, king.

I've never gotten into MTG, so you are correct they do sound nerdy to me. But really it's a nerdy topic so it's what I expect the for a channel like this. There isn't anything to be embarrassed about. The production quality of the couple videos I watched is very good. It's quality voicework too.

I can see why that your chosen topic adds a lot of preproduction time into making each video. I can also see how it could lead to complete burnout on MTG.
