Slepyshev. So climb the ranking with Roy next season. Low KHL point totals but one of the young KHL players in the league. great WJC too

 

[McGlassbangers]

Anton Slepyshev
Iiro Pakarinen
Jackson Houck
William Lagesson
Kyle Platzer

 

[Aerchon]

Where is the no longer matters option in this poll?

I went Davidson even tho he had an off year last year. He used to be considered a better prospect than Musil or Simpson or Gernat just one year removed.

Zharkov & Slepy have potential but both as not tracking well. Scrapping the bottom of the barrel from here on in.

 

[McAsuno]

Slepyshev for me. I still wonder if he'll want to come to NA, instead of staying to play in the KHL. Perhaps his buddy Yakimov can pry him here.

 

[Paralyzer008]

Now that Slepy finally is going to get in, my heart is saying Nagelvoort/Lagesson/Houck

 

[Delicious Pancakes]

It would be great to get Slepyshev over this year.

Yeah, what happened to Zharkov? That's my issue with Slepyshev. I'm not prejudice against Russians but I beginning to doubt the value of the KHL as a developmental league. Young players seem to get bad assignments and limited minutes. Plus there's the difference in the ice size and other differences. Yakimov's decision to come over is huge.

 

[The Nuge]

We can probably move on to 16 already

 

[Connor McOilers]

Slep.

Erik Gustafsson belongs on the list of options as well.

 

[McDNicks17]

Slep.

Erik Gustafsson belongs on the list of options as well.

He went unsigned.

UFA now.

I'm convinced that the top 14 guys will at least play a game in the NHL at some point in their career, but I don't see Slepyshev pulling that off.

Wouldn't be surprised if Zarkov or Davidson got a few games due to injury call up or a team wanting to tank for a season.

Zharkov is in the KHL.

William Lagesson
Kyle Platzer

Travis Ewanyk and Brandon Davidson should be ahead of all these guys.

 

[oilinblood]

It shouldnt factor into the equation whether or not slepy will come over. Everyone wants to play in the best league. He will play. He should be in the top ten. Awesome wjc in a more developed 200 ft rover role. Ceiling far higher than others.

Look at all the guys that MIGHT top out as plugs that are ahead of him. Lol

Why shouldn't we take whether the player will even come to North America into account? Plenty of Euro draft picks never cross the Atlantic. And until they do, we should absolutely consider where they are playing when doing these rankings.

 

[Oilception]

If Slepyshev was coming over this year how much higher would he have been on some of your guys lists?

I started voting for him at 8...

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Travis Ewanyk and Brandon Davidson should be ahead of all these guys.

Travis Ewanyk has never scored more than 27 points in hockey

this guy will be lucky to a top line player in the AHL

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

This poll is over, wasn't the last one close enough to declare two of them as 14 and 15 respectively?

[McGlassbangers]

I don't see it. IMO Ewanyk will top out as a 4th line LW, Slepyshev has potential to be 2nd liner and even Pakarinen & Houck & Platzer has potentials to be 3rd line RW's. Lagesson is physical and defensively sound 2nd pairing defender. They have higher ceilings than Ewanyk, therefore they're better prospects in my eyes.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

nice response

in order to play in the NHL, he have to show a little offense....or you become Lander or JFJ

 

[MoneyGuy]

Last Dynasty is right. Ewanyk is an extreme long shot to make it in the show. He'll probably never be a top-line AHL player.

No love for Joey Laleggia

This line of thinking is flawed. "Plugs" are better than skill guys who aren't good enough to crack the lineup. Nobody is denying his skill, but we've seen enough Omarks and that we should probably know that sometimes, a Mike Grier is better than a Rob Schremp.
