As we have been doing since 2004, we simply use the old HF criterias for prospect eligibility (less than 65 NHL games and under 25 y/o).

Remember to vote based on all factors and not just if the prospect is more NHL ready than others. Overall skillset, hockey IQ, upside potential vs floor, age, stats, skating ability, shot quality, leadership qualities, size/strength, etc

Personally, I always ask myself, who would I draft BPA among these players?

Try to do some research on these kids, particularly the most recent ones. People are free to post links and videos about some of the prospects that should be voted soon, or even try to persuade others why a guy should be voted next! Spread info to help people vote.


Graduated players from 2023-24 (who are still in the organization) :

Ridley Greig and Jacob Bernard-Docker


To be added :

Kevin Reidler

I have no idea at this point, but Blake Montgomery intrigues me.

 

[Micklebot]

This is where it gets tricky, I don't have enough viewings on guys like Eliasson, Stanley, Donovan or Bourgault to know if their upside puts them ahead of guys like Crookshank and Guenette who I think will both be at least cup of coffee guys as a worst case scenario.

Going with Merilainin, but I'm not confident at this point.

 

[Xspyrit]

Dang, we're about to have 2 goalies in our top-6... goalies that are not really considered around the league

People are fairly stupid so I wouldn’t put much stock in that poll.

Most fans have no clue how to evaluate goalies, and that get exacerbated when trying to evaluate goalies in other teams' systems.

I wouldn't put much stock into us having two goalies in our top 6, or where fans of other teams rank our goalies.

HFBoards TOP 20 Goalie Prospects Ranking #15

Sogaard's numbers in the AHL are just as good as many of those guys in the top 10.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

People are fairly stupid so I wouldn’t put much stock in that poll.

I put more faith in a poll that has neither guy in the league-wide top 20 than a Sens one that has both of them as top 6 prospects

 

[Micklebot]

Probably better off not putting any faith in either poll, but I'd argue that Sens fans know more about Sens prospects than HF Board fans writ large know about league wide prospects.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Got to be Leevi. He and Mads are pretty well on the same level.

 

[DrEasy]

For me it's "lust for violence" until Eliasson is gone.

Hamara should probably be added to the list soon.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Probably better off not putting any faith in either poll, but I'd argue that Sens fans know more about Sens prospects than HF Board fans writ large know about league wide prospects.

Probably, but any young goalie doing ok in the minors is basically a lock for top 10 when we do these polls. Glass, Guard, OConnor, all former examples. We hit a point in the polls where the remaining options are lackluster and default to goalie

 

[Senator Stanley]

At this point, I could hear an argument for Crookshank or Guenette as guys who'll play some games for sure, an argument for Donovan or Andonovski as OHL defenceman who are developing well for 5th rounders, an argument for Elliasson or Stanley as guys who are further away but have really intriguing tools, and an argument for Boucher or Bourgault as former high picks who - with one good season in the AHL - could shoot up this list. Plus the goalie, Merilainen.

 

[OD99]

Probably better off not putting any faith in either poll, but I'd argue that Sens fans know more about Sens prospects than HF Board fans writ large know about league wide prospects.

They have both been in our system for a while and both have had some good moments in the AHL, so not surprised they will be a bit higher on our poll.

Plus our depth isn't great at this point, so goalies going early is fine.

Donovan and Crookshank will go soon.

 

[BUCKLE UP]

Donovan is getting better and better.

Next is crook

 

[Xspyrit]

Sogaard's numbers in the AHL are just as good as many of those guys in the top 10.

I asked the OP to add Sogaard previously but I don't know, it's weird, it's like they think Sogaard was 24 years old or something

I also linked a Dobber ranking from January 2024 that had Sogaard 14th and Merilainen 39th

there are other guys similar age to sogaard, I might have the days off by a touch, but out of the guys at a similar age, only Wolf stands out,

Goalie​	Age​	AHL​	NHL​
Hildeby​	22, 338 days​	46 gp .908 sv%​	NA​
Wolf​	23, 97 days​	141 gp, .926 sv%​	18 gp, .896 sv%​
Sogaard​	23, 222 days​	96 gp, .908 sv%​	27 gp, .883 sv%​
Silovs​	23, 122 days​	89 gp, .906 sv%​	9 gp, .898 sv%​

 

[BondraTime]

Our goalie prospects are guys you hope to become backups. None are really guys that should be high on any list

Goalies are voodoo, I pretty much hope for backup regardless of who the prospect is.

 

[bicboi64]

Crookshank cuz he'll probably get a few games this year

That's pretty sad if that's the main reason to vote your 6th best prospect... (aka : your pool sucks big time)

 

[bicboi64]

I'll be honest, I just vote for him because he has the best name ever

 

[OD99]

He is under rated.

Good motor, good shot, but undersized, so he gets overlooked.

Ok that's re-assuring!

He is under rated.

Good motor, good shot, but undersized, so he gets overlooked.

I like him and you need that kind of prospects in your pool. But he's soon 25 y/o and not even a sure thing to carve a role as a 4th line forward. We're at spot #6 here

 

[dumbdick]

Leading B-Sens goal scorer and AHL all-star. One of the best g/gp in that league too.

Crookshank getting overlooked as usual.
