Kings #7 prospect

[kingsfan]

Vote for your top prospect and nominate who you want to see added to the poll list of options. Don't forget to nominate a prospect to add!

I will not be using HF's standards for prospects, rather I'll count players as prospects who haven't played a full year in the NHL and appear to not be a slam dunk for a roster spot next year.

#1 Adrian Kempe (55.42% of votes)
#2 Valentin Zykov (54.55% of votes)
#3 Nick Shore (33.87% of votes)
#4 Jordan Weal (58.49% of votes)
#5 Derek Forbort (54.17% of votes)
#6 Michael Mersch (55.56% of votes)

I think there's a significant drop-off after the top six. Going with Lintu here, but it's close between he and Cernak.

edit: Add Amadio.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

I'm actually going with Brodzinski here, think he's really underrated and has some major upside, but was close with Mistele...but lots of the next 5-7 are so close it's tough.

Add Amadio

 

[Basilisk]

Add Kitsyn!!!!

 

[Holden Caulfield]

Cernak and Bartosak are very close here. Went with Cernak but it coulda went the other way.

I was actually really tempted to go with Bartosak here too, but it's reassuring to see you high on Cernak!

Dergachyov, add Wagner

It seems like so many of the defensemen after Forbort are pretty close in rankings.

Cernak, Lintuniemi, LaDue, Gravel, Leslie...and any one of them may end up being
better than Forbort. I think by the end of the coming season, we will see one or more of them emerge and separate themselves from the others. Of all of them, I have only seen Gravel play in person (with Nnic Dowd - St Cloud St)...vs U of Denver, when Shore was there. Was a treat to see the 3 of them.

Good call on Brodzinski with that shot of his.

 

[kovacro]

Add Paul LaDue.

I'm riding Brodzinski. This guy is severely underrated here. I wouldn't be surprised to see him get 20 goals this year with the Reign.

Add Ladue

So many of us are going to be completely surprised in a couple of short years. There is a severe under rating of a couple of our prospects and over rating of a one or two others too.

Go back and look at past polls, same thing. We are dealing with prospects, its an inexact science.

Where's Berube?

Hasn't been added yet and honestly, I think you are the first to ask or suggest he be added.
