I'd have Krebs ahead of Quinn but behind JJ. It's a style thing. I wouldn't be shocked if JJ puts up the fewest points but has a Drury-like impact
Future looks brighter than it did in May - this is for sure.

Yeah, I think he would be. I would imagine some (notably those cool on Power) would have him 1......but I personally wouldn't be able to justify JJP or Quinn above Krebs. Krebs' ceiling is too high.
That tidbit that he played defense for a couple of games for the Ice in his final WHL season due to injuries and picked up 6 points in 2 games is just the funniest.
High-motor, high-character player with leadership and skill? Yes please.

Lol based on what? Krebs looked slow on his NHL Vegas call up, it's why all the sudden Vegas added him. Quinn is absolutely demolishing the AHL.

At what point does tangible evidence overtake potential in these polls? So far Krebs curve is behind Quinn.
By tangible evidence you mean 7 AHL games?

I mean, people put Peterka ahead of Quinn on the strength of his preseason performance, so he could slot in anywhere from #2-4. Personally, I'd put him behind Quinn but ahead of Peterka, but that's not how the majority of this board voted.

I agree with this. Krebs has looked slow and I think he needs more AHL cooking. Not a big deal though, he'll be a good one.
FWIW i am the same as you but at the same time all of these guys are interchangeable. As said - since we added Power & Krebs along with strong development from both Quinn/JJP - the future looks bright. Add Cozens & Dahlin too even they don't technically qualify as prospects... Very strong group.
Lol. I don't put an awful lot of stock in that personally, but if we play that game Krebs has 10 points in 7 AHL games over the last 2 years.

If they do put Krebs between Quinn & JJP, here are their combined AHL stats for this season with Krebs having 5a in 2GP for Henderson this season:
16GP 7G 18A 25 Pts
16GP 7G 18A 25 Pts
His skating is fine. He's never been a burner, but he gets around the ice just fine. Just wait to see his boardwork and playmaking!

Based on the fact that I'm not willing to write off a highly talented skilled young player after 9 NHL games for a team that's struggling?

That reminds me of one of those 04-05 Amerks lines. So much talent there.
I'm over-the-moon about Krebs. I honestly think he's a perfect playmaker for Quinn. Put those two together for years to come.

I definitely was reminded of Vanek-Roy-Pominville, but I think there's the potential for even more from this trio. Krebs plays a much more complete game than Roy ever did, same for Quinn vis-a-vis Vanek. Putting those 3 together now could grow us one heck of a line for the future.
