Parascak for me.

Should we consider bumping the birth year back to 1985? Feels like that Ovechkin kid could really become something once he fully develops.

 

[Holtbyisms]

Now it's easily Lappy.

 

[Calicaps]

Now it's easily Lappy.

BTW, is he back for Hershey or still injured?

He was taking reps in practice. We'll see tonight if he's in the lineup or not. Nelly is a last possible second kind of lineup guy.

 

[Misery74]

Went with Parascak. Getting tough.

 

[notDkristich]

Parascak's nickname will forever be 'Mitch'

[Ridley Simon]

It’s Lapierre.

After this, it’s get a little chaotic

 

[Random schmoe]

Also LaPierre for me.

Also about to get very difficult for me. Half a dozen guys I can see arguments for.

 

[Silky mitts]

I can't envision a universe where Lil Pro isn't productive

 

[895]

Protas is so much better it’s not even close. Lapierre is almost out of runway. Protas is a first round pick in a redraft.

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Gotta go with Medium Pro.

 

[ArmadilloThumb]

I'm going with my gut here in LittlePro. And also asking are there any more Protas brothers???

 

[kicksavedave]

Now it's easily Lappy.

Is it though? There's another name that's gaining momentum lately

 

[qc14]

Lappy was one of the best forwards in an NHL playoff series just last year. Not giving up on him yet

 

[twabby]

Going Protas again

 

[DWGie26]

Lapierre at 3, 4, and now 5. Gonna come back to this in a couple of years. He is same growth path as McMichael and Protas.

Lappy hurt. He is skating. I am unsure of injury. This I am sure of… this guy is a fighter and he is skilled. He will be higher than 5 when we look back.

Or possibly lower. Protas, Parascak, and possibly even Mateiko could pass him.

 

[DWGie26]

They could. All good. I like all of them. But i believe Lappy will ultimately be a difference maker for us. He gets taken off the puck too easily. Loses the puck. But he can carry it well and we need that but he needs to get strong (body and stick) to be effective in the NHL. That may take another year or two. But let’s see down the road.

 

[wickedwitch]

Lapierre, Chesley next.

 

[Nogatco Rd]

On the Ilya Protas hype train

Lapierre at 3, 4, and now 5. Gonna come back to this in a couple of years. He is same growth path as McMichael and Protas.

I hope so

 

[AllAlphas]

Went with the old man Ethen Frank...
He's crushed it in the A, and he's currently showing that he can bust open a sluggish Caps offense in the bigs.
Actual results over possible potential in this round for me.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Protas 2.0

 

[Stan Galiev]

Future Hendrix for me. On the cusp of being a real NHL player. Looked dominant against the Rangers in the playoffs and very much deserved his AHL playoff MVP.

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Just changed my vote to support the Future Hendrix nickname.
