[Viqsi]

Svozil, add Dolzhenkov. See previous thread as to why Dolzhenkov (short version: I think the skating is correctable). I had to flip a coin between Svozil and Richard.

 

[Jovavic]

Add Dumais

 

[SavesEmNot]

Add Dumais.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Richard add knazko

 

[Fro]

Knazko

 

[LJ7]

Richard add Dumais

 

[DarkandStormy]

Svozil, add Dolzhenkov, largely for the reasons @Viqsi laid out.

Only 7 adds left, including today (assuming we're stopping at 20, as is tradition). By the looks of it, almost certainly at least one prospect who had their NHL cup of coffee won't even be on the list.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Foudy again.

Add Fisher. The reasoning here is he was a PPG player at Belmont Hill School last year and none of our other prospects can say that.

 

[GoJackets1]

Svozil, add Dumais.

For Dumais, due to his supposed skating issues, I’m not entirely convinced he’ll make it. But figure I gotta account for the “boom” half of “boom/bust” at some point.

 

[ThisIsMyAlibi]

We are now officially in “who’s name do I recognize most” territory.

 

[Nanabijou]

Add Dumais

 

[DougKnowsBest]

Voted voronkov. I think he has a higher ceiling then foudy and is better right now. So better known unknowns and unknown unknowns.

Add Aidan Hreschuk (D)

 

[CBJx614]

Foudy. Add Dumais.

 

[VT]

Add Sergei Ivanov

 

[stevo61]

Foudy again.

Add Fisher. The reasoning here is he was a PPG player at Belmont Hill School last year and none of our other prospects can say that.

I dont like his name though

 

[stevo61]

I could probably be swayed to Dolzhenkov or Dumais here. Feel like I need to learn more about Bjorgvik Holm and Hreschuk though, probably underrating them.
Add Dolzhenkov I guess

 

[NotTooWideArena]

Add Dumais.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

I dont like his name though

Yeah who does he think he is?

 

[cslebn]

Voted Richard

Add Aidan Hreschuk

My remaining order is something like Richard, Voronkov, Foudy, Svozil, Hreschuk, Pyyhtia, Knazko, Dumais, Malatesta...

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Svozil, add Dolzhenkov, largely for the reasons @Viqsi laid out.

Only 7 adds left, including today (assuming we're stopping at 20, as is tradition). By the looks of it, almost certainly at least one prospect who had their NHL cup of coffee won't even be on the list.

Given the names getting add votes we’re looking at Dunne, Meyer, TFW and maybe Christiansen not making the 20.

 

[MissADD]

Foudy again.

Add Christiansen.

 

[JacketFanInFL]

Obstaining until Dumais is added.

 

[Xoggz22]

Torn between Knazko and Dolzhenkov. I think Knazko has a better shot at being a NHL player but Dolzhenkov has a higher upside but greater risk/less chance(?) to get there....

I still think this is great prospect depth to even be having this discussion (well, I am in my head anyway).

Add Knazko

 

[DarkandStormy]

Given the names getting add votes we’re looking at Dunne, Meyer, TFW and maybe Christiansen not making the 20.

Yep, those are the guys I was thinking of (less so Dunne, since his NHL experience was just at the end of the 2021 season).

Meyer I'm not too surprised about. He turns 25 in a couple weeks and pretty rarely is there any upside to a guy that old already. A nice AHL player who you can plug into the NHL lineup for 5-10 games if a bunch of injuries occur.

TFW's injury cut short his '20-'21 campaign. He was...idk...ok? in 6 NHL games last year. He's 23 and so again, we kind of get into the development curve discussion. 33 points in 53 games with Cleveland last year isn't too bad.

Christiansen is only 22 (turns 23 next month) and has shown a lot of offensive ability from the blue line. I think the concern is his play in the D zone.

I'd really have to defer to those who watch the Monsters more closely on those guys (and Dunne and Angle) in terms of their probability of becoming NHLers.
