Lappy is 23 and hasn't scored a goal so far in any game/league this season. It's end of January out there. Let go of the idea that he's anywhere near the top-3 in these rankings.

I just can't picture how a player who was sent down to the AHL for sucking in the NHL can be considered as having graduated from the AHL to the NHL.
I went Miroshnichenko here, but Cristall votes are valid.

AC's crazy high ceiling - even acknowledging pretty low floor relatively - takes this spot for me fairly easily.

Lappy may well end up a solid NHL player but he has been skipped by a few folks on this list IMHO.

Can't care less if he has been a world beater a year ago, this is a poll right now. You want to excuse somebody for sucking because he's too old for juniors? Yeah not sure what's more ridiculous here but definitely not 0 goals in 4 months. Another season like this and the dude might as well be packing for Europe.

I went Cristall because IMO he has by far the best odds of becoming an impact player.
Lapierre doesn't even really register with me as a potential impact player. He's almost 23, which is generally the start of a player's prime years. If he is a fringe NHLer now, at age 23, what are his most likely outcomes?

Miro is only a year older than Cristal and has performed well in a variety of roles, completely juiced the checking line this year, Dowd’s #s are better across the board with Miro
And any questions about upside, think about how he’s gotten healthy and expanded his game year over year over year

This is where it gets fun!
I like Lapierre here. I think he has good potential. Bake another year. He has speed and can carry the puck. Hope he develops that in Hershey this year and is a ready call up and full timer next year. If he isn’t ready next year I’ll worry. But nothing wrong with his arc. I think Cristal is going to need a lot of development to play with men.

Cristall/Hutson/Miroshnichenko cluster, Cristall alphabetic vote.
All three have potential to be really good-to-great.

I enjoy the Cristal hype but Miro is the superior prospect even though he's not going to win in this poll.
He took so much acid he’s lost his mind?! Does the Caps FO know about this?!
Anyways, I guess I’ll go Cristall. But I’d like it to be Miro.
