Ceulemans. It was only his rookie pro season, so I'll give him one more year to get it together before dropping him out completely.

It's interesting that Richard and Ceulemans played together on Canada's U18 team. Richard was always the smoother more cerebral player and has certainly developed better. We only get positive reports about him at Providence.

I'm voting Richard but I'm open to persuasion on Marelli and Makarov. I don't know enough about them. Pinelli we've debated enough, I personally don't like his chances.

Add McKown.

Malatesta at #10, Keskinen at #15 and McCue probably an HM in this year's poll. When I envision them as future bottom-6 forwards for the Jackets, I can imagine them all being effective in their own ways but so far I haven't been able to notice a clear gap in their overall toolset and potential. As of today I like Keskinen and McCue a tad more than Malatesta as prospects.

Do people think they're all relatively close to each other or is Malatesta distinctly way ahead of both?

Poll edited. The second R cancels out the first, right?

His name is misspelled all over the internet. An easy way to remember the correct spelling is “I can’t wait to see Luca Marrelli marr somebody’s face in the NHL.”

Add fisher

 

[CannonFire1]

Add Henricks

 

[NotWendell]

Hell, add them all and let's see what happens! #freeForAll

 

[SavesEmNot]

Add Strathmann.

 

[CBJx614]

Voting Makarov because letting the Russians develop a few years before they come over and we get hyped about them has seemingly worked well, so no reason to stop now.

 

[DarkandStormy]

Add Fisher

I have Malatesta a bit ahead of Keskinen and way ahead of McCue.

If I thought one of them had higher upside than I might prioritize that, but as is they're all potential bottom sixers and Malatesta is much closer to being that right now, he's a beast.

 

[Aaaarrgghh]

Ceulemans, add McKown.

 

[Viqsi]

Ties on both the poll and the add? I think we need more votes.

Or as usual, just run that list randomizer until you get them in order of your personal preference.

You pronounce them both.

Honest to G-d, I only run it the one time each time. I'm not normally this lucky.
