Prospect Info: NYR Prospect Poll: #7

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

When you check off boxes in regards to all the attributes that make up the best overall hockey player, Lindberg is at or near the top of the list among all these prospects being listed.

With OL, no one thing stands out, but the overall game is solid pro.

Yeah, I'd probably have him between 2-4 behind Miller and possibly Skjei/McIlrath. But I don't rank anyone else above him at the moment. I think the team envisions him as Boyle's replacement, and I see him excelling in that role. Love Duclair's potential, but one year is one year.

Lindberg isn't the flashiest prospect but he's solid. Should be higher than he is. Add Nejezchleb

 

[bmoak]

Lindberg. Add Tambellini.

 

[Jxmarts]

Lindberg... Add Graves

 

[darko]

Lindberg, add Tambellini

 

[nyr2k2]

Allen is going to keep dropping, by the look of it. He's going to be the next Sauer and take everyone by surprise here.

Probably the most surprising is how no one rates Tambellini in the top 15, seemingly.

I want to see Tambo be productive for a full season, and also increase his ES scoring. He has the tools, but I'm still somewhat skeptical about the toolbox.

Lindberg. That he isn't ranked higher is a joke

I find the statements regarding Lindberg's ranking a little puzzling. If you think he should be higher, there are obviously players that you see ranked in the top 6 who you think should be below him. Who are they?

IMO, the only one I'd bump down would be McIlrath (I'd have him below both Lindberg and Allen), but other than that, everyone we see up there belongs at least on par with OL, if not above. The fact that he is where he is is indicative of the fact that we had a couple of 3rd round prospects (Duclair and Buchnevich) step up and absolutely demolish their expectations. And that, for the record, is a very good thing for the organization.

Oscar again. Agree Allen likely next.

The other guys you've got here, I'm not sure I'd have any of them ahead of Hrivik, Tambellini, Bodie or Graves.
But I do trust Gordie Clark on Halverson's potential.
Kristo had a good scoring rookie year.
Nieves and Haggerty don't merit top 10.

Bodie is an interesting one because I think he can definitely be a Gilroy level #7 rotational defender right away.

But his upside is certainly not top-4 like Allen or the others.
