Robertson
Soderstrom/York/Newhook
Myers/Dube/Hague

 

[Blueboy]

Wahlstrom way too high, voted Newhook

 

[buffalosabrebills]

Jokiharju for sure

 

[islandurrs]

Wahlstrom way too high, voted Newhook

Nah fam.

 

[Dr Salt]

Jokiharju and Newhook should have gone a fair bit a go. Went with Joki

 

[Kcb12345]

Robertson is sooo underrated. Should be gone already

 

[MD]

I feel like Jake Bean should be on here

 

[Isaac Nootin]

Joki, Newhook, Vesalainen, Robertson and Hague and my last 5.

 

[Howe Elbows 9]

Joki, Newhook, Vesalainen, Robertson and Hague and my last 5.

Jokiharju, Tolvanen, Vesalainen, Robertson and Hague (or maybe Tippett) are my favorites among the remaining options.

Voting my passport again...although Bokk absolutely deserves it. I tried not to let myself get too excited by him last year and I almost pulled it off...but come draft night 2018 I was bitterly disappointed we didn't pick him up & his draft+1 has only validated my faith in him.

 

[dirtydantheflyersman]

Blowout for Jokiharju. Not surprised. Give me Tolvanen or Robertson next.

 

[canadiantirefire]

Liljegren 2nd in votes?

Tolvanen or Myers for me. Jokiharju is overrated.

 

[InfinityIggy]

Vilardi being this low is going to look funny in a few years.

 

[Petterssonic]

Vilardi being this low is going to look funny in a few years.

Possibly. Missing most of the last 2 years of development will surely hold him back from reaching his true potential.

 

[RedWingzz]

Newhook

 

[amnesiac]

Liljegren 2nd in votes?

Tolvanen or Myers for me. Jokiharju is overrated.

17P/30GO AHL
12P/38GP NHL

as a 19 year old defencemen is better than most would do

Sure but Joker wasn't as good as his #s and absolutely earned his demotion...nevermind that development isn't linear. He just didn't look like a kid who projects as anything more than a good third pairing puckmover or a passable middle pairing guy.

Development might not be linear he still managed to play 38 games in the NHL at age 19. You'd be crazy to say there's no room for improvement.

Oh I'm not saying there's no room for improvement. He can absolutely still become a quality NHLer, but I just haven't ever seen the skillset out of him to become a more than passable top 4 guy and think he's become over-rated due to getting NHL games early.

Kinda like a lesser version of what happened to Brodin; who looked really impressive for his age in his draft+1 season but never became the top pairing guy people assumed he'd grow into after that 1st season next to Suter.

 

[Kamiccolo]

Liljegren 2nd in votes?

Tolvanen or Myers for me. Jokiharju is overrated.

Liljegren is underrated due to his reputation as an offensive D vs his production. However, he was playing professional hockey for 2 years, and if he continues his play in the playoffs next year, he is one of the best D in the AHL at 20, if not the best.

He's really transformed his game into a two way D. I also doubt many people are watching the Marlies to see him either.

 

[Martinez]

I think Vilardi is the best prospect left but I just can’t pick him because he’s never healthy. I’ll take York
