[Anglesmith]

I voted Bill Arnold on the last poll, but my heart has had a change of mind. I think it's high time for our second-rounders. Starting with M&M.

 

[Taranis]

So hard to decide on this one, but I'm going to go for Agostino over Arnold due to having the higher potential.

 

[Wheels of Poirier]

Ditto here.. Knight after Arnold, but all three are very close.

 

[Mr Lebowski]

Tight between Arnold, Knight, McDonald and Agostino. But went with Arnold.

 

[Calculon]

I think I'm going to be voting Kulak for a longtime. But Kulak is somewhat similar to kool-aid . . .

 

[CraigsList]

Went with Arnold... Tough choice between him and Agostino.

 

[InfinityIggy]

Hey Arnold.

 

[DCDM]

I voted Arnold last time but I think there's a bit of underrating here towards a lot of players. I'm now leaning more towards Hunter Smith. Or maybe Corban Knight. Hmm...

I voted Arnold again but if I stop and think about the 'you can only keep 1' philosophy, I am leaning towards McDonald.

 

[Lunatik]

McDonald. He has the highest potential of all that are left

 

[Nordberg]

Agostino for the third time

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Going with Arnold.

 

[Rangediddy]

I know he's new to the system, but I'm liking what I'm reading about this Sena Acolatse kid. I didn't vote for him but if anyone knows a thing or two about him, please share!

I voted Arnold btw.

Here is what I know

Skates well
Hits hard
Plays mean
Big Shot
Right Handed
Born in Cali
Believed to have offensive upside
Not big (6'0") but is thick (210lbs)
Sharks fans didn't want to see him go
defensive play is the weakest part of his game but it is not bad
unlucky (broken jaw and broken leg have caused him to miss significant time in the past 2 years)

Nothing wrong with that. Looking forward to seeing him play. Probably plays a couple preseason games.

Sounds like he might be a good Wideman replacement if hes moved at the deadline?

Liking what I hear. Maybe I'll have to rank him ahead of some on these prospect rankings

I'm thinking a bigger right handed Cundari, not sure how NHL ready this kid is though.

I like how you answer this question in every single thread without ever losing your temper.

He is on painkillers today.

[Lunatik]

but seriously, I love when people ask for information about stuff. That won't make me angry, it's the putting down prospects and making stupid proposals that get to me

 

[medhatcanuck]

Coming in peace, as well I'm psyched about the Flames in 3-4 years. As I am a canucks fans and equally a hockey fan.
My question is your team is heavily weighted at center and left wing, do u guys see any forsee able problems with RW depth?

I have no idea about organizational depth, who will play well, but as a rough draft, in 3-5 years:

Baertschi - Monahan - _______
Gaudreau - Bennett - _______
Klimchuk - Reinhart - ________

Where do guys like Pouirer, Granlund or Jankowski fit? All with LH shots I believe. Also is this the structure of the lineup or am I off?

 

[Taranis]

Structure looks fine but Poirier played RW in the Q last season quite well (besides vs Halifax in the playoffs) and should slot in at top six RW. Hunter Smith possibly could be our 3rd line RW. So we definitly need another top six RW but all in all were doing good.
