Prospect Info: Semi-Annual Prospect Poll: #7 NYR Prospect

[Beacon]

Oscar Lindberg became our first second tier prospect and he's replaced in the poll by a fellow centerman Boo Nieves.

Please write who you want added to the poll, and give a reason for it. This makes the discussion here more lively.


WHO IS A PROSPECT: http://www.hockeysfuture.com/whatmakesaprospect

HOW TO RANK PROSPECTS: Based on their value in a hypothetical trade or waiver draft. This takes into consideration a prospect's ceiling, how close he's to making it, his health, work ethic, the whole deal. Imagine there was a prospect waiver draft and you could keep only one prospect. That guy is our #1 prospect. Then imagine we had one more waiver protection. That guy is our #2 prospect.

Close call on this one, but went with Fast because he has the potential be be a top-6 player, while still having the kind of game that could be used in the bottom-6.

Add Hrivik. Not having the best of seasons so far, but he's a good all-around player.

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

Fast for the fourth straight poll.

Add Hrivik. I have really like what I've seen in the past and in camp, but it is disturbing how much he appears to have regressed this year.

Yet another reason to fire Kenny G.

 

[Beer League Sniper]

Going with Allen again this round.

Add Yogan.

Also, does anyone else find Lindberg's eyebrows ultra creepy in that picture? Looks like RuPaul plucked them for him...

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

Isn't one of Graves or Donnay reportedly having a really good year?

RuPaul does all the hair styling in Hartford.

Fire RuPaul too.

Yet another reason to fire Kenny G.

Our labor organizer here... can't you do an anti-KennyG rally?

Hey, hey, ho, ho, this coach has got to go.

What do we want? Kenny G's head! When do we want it? Now!

 

[Beacon]

Kristo and Fast are close, but Fast is 1.5 years younger and his game is easier to translate to the NHL than Kristo's.

 

[kovazub94]

Buchnevich. Add Hrvik (then Yogan then Graves).

Given how well the Sather one worked, I think it would be a lost cause.

Fast, add Hrivik
ugh, the quality of our prospect depth dropped off real fast this year.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Fast, add Hrivik

This is the #7 poll, what do you expect? This is a decent group of players.

 

[Beer League Sniper]

What's wrong with our prospect depth? We're on #7 and all our poll choices have realistic Top-6/Top-4 upside. I don't see how it's so horrible...

 

[The Gloaming]

Voted Fast. I really like him, but hopefully this is just an injury-bug and it doesn't mean that he's injury prone.

Add Hrivik.

 

[Ail]

Kristo, Hrivik.

Liking Duclair more by the day.

 

[nyr2k2]

Allen, add Hrivik.

 

[eco's bones]

Allen. We're at the point where everyone we add is an extreme longshot.

 

[Beer League Sniper]

Allen. We're at the point where everyone we add is an extreme longshot.

I think Yogan, Kantor, and Hrivik have a decent shot at becoming role players down the line. Everyone after that, I absolutely agree.

 

[Joey Bones]

Fast add Hrivik

 

[Machinehead]

Going with Duclair. Maybe his odds of making it aren't the best, but to me he's the only guy left capable of making an impact beyond the 3rd line.

Can't believe Kristo is winning. The guy's one year younger than McDonagh and hasn't sniffed NHL ice.

 

[nikonsniper*]

Allen. We're at the point where everyone we add is an extreme longshot.

I would agree. the players in the poll in this round are our best shots. anyone after this group (10-11th) become big reaches.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Kristo. Add Hrivik.

 

[Net Front Presence]

Allen. Add Hrivik.

 

[eco's bones]

I think Yogan, Kantor, and Hrivik have a decent shot at becoming role players down the line. Everyone after that, I absolutely agree.

Just looking at Hrivik's and Yogan's numbers this year. They are disappointing. I actually thought of adding Kantor but this guy's a project as well.
