[Henkka]

I'll take 5 options per voting round from our summer voting, and add the next 1-2 best guys from the rank for the next voting round.

Limits for a "prospect" will be:

- Less than 25 NHL games
- U23 age.

[The Zetterberg Era]

I will stick with my summer vote of Rasmussen by a hair over Cholowski.

 

[lilidk]

I am not really sure about Rasmussen and Cholowski been prospects. They both are regular players now.

 

[Frk It]

Only change for me is I’d put Cholowski over Hronek, otherwise I feel mostly the same about everyone.

 

[Ezekial]

Zadina
Rasmussen
Cholowski
Hronek

No changes to top 4 for me since June, really

 

[SCD]

I would not call Cholowski a prospect anymore....he is much better than most of our D.

Rasmussen still has shown lots of potential, but there are still questions in his overall game.

 

[Christien]

Zadina
Cholowski
Veleno
Rasmussen
Hronek

Happy Thanksgiving you guys

Pronman uses that 25 game amount when ranking drafted prospects. Also less that 25 NHL games is officially considered in NHL as a rookie. Imo, it's a good limit.

Cholowski and Rasmussen will definitely be out from the next voting...

 

[Cyborg Yzerberg]

Still 100% Zadina, I'm amazed he's not running away with it.

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Two guys that are permanently in the lineup aren't prospects. So the answer can only be Zadina.

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Still 100% Zadina, I'm amazed he's not running away with it.

Because he is up against Red wings players too not just prospects.

 

[TheMule93]

I don't even consider cholowski or ramsussen prospects considering they're both in the NHL for good

Voted zadina ainec

 

[newfy]

Cholowski has made it a tough choice with how hes been in the NHL this year, especially with Zadinas somewhat slower start to the season.

Who cares if some of you guy dont consider Rasmussen or Cholowski prospects anymore, the person starting the thread is asking them to count. Its obviously a runaway for Zadina if those 2 arent counted

Yep.

Just consider the highest career potential. NHL games or not under the belt.

That's what best prospect means.

Svechnikov has NHL games under his belt and I'm quite sure he won't be high on this voting-rank.

 

[masta8]

Zadina.

 

[Nut Upstrom]

Rasputin
Cholo
Funky Cold
Hronek

The only question I have is how good he become first or second line player. . I hope next year he will join Larkin and Mantha. Don't forget that Holland choose him for his leadership over Necas great scaring for exemple

 

[ricky0034]

Zadina still #1 for me

Cholo #2 instead of #4 like I had him before the season

then Rasmussen/Hronek/Veleno for 3/4/5 but I think 4/5 is very close right now


Zadina I had hoped would be in the NHL but realistically he's been pretty much meeting my expectations

same with Rasmussen/Veleno,just meeting expectations

Cholo has exceeded them and Hronek has fallen a bit short of them(I was expecting him to be in the NHL full time by now at least rather than back in the AHL)

 

[Claypool]

Still 100% Zadina, I'm amazed he's not running away with it.

I accidentally voted for the wrong Filip

 

[The Zermanator]

Went with Cholowski, super impressed by how comfortable he's looked. Think he's gonna turn into a top pair guy.

Still think Zadina will top out as the better player though. Just hasn't had the opportunity to show as much at the pro level as Cholowski, as of now so he's more of an unknown quantity.

 

[Goalie guy]

Well lets see Chlo is the 2nd best D man on the team, So he has to be number one on this list of players, Ras 2nd because again hes on the team. Then Veleno, the rest is a toss up right now. Little Z has 10 points but is also a -8, Hronek has 4 points and is doing ok, but Saarijarvi is doing just as good.

Plus/minus is a fluky stat over a full season and much more fluky over a much smaller sample size. Hronek actually has 5 points with the Griffs but he also scored 3 with the Wings. Saarijärvi may have scored as many points (5) as Hronek with the Griffs but Hronek has done it in 10 games as opposed to 16.

 

[Athanaseeyoulater]

If Cholowski is still considered a prospect than him, if not, than Kadina.

 

[HisNoodliness]

Still Zadina as our #1 prospect for me. Cholowski has had a hot start to his NHL career and Zadina has started slow in GR... But if we're talking long-term projection I'm still taking Zadina over Cholowski easily. Cholo hasn't looked out of place on the first pairing but I still don't know if I'm comfortable penciling him in there long-term. I am pretty comfortable penciling Zadina into our top line.

Overall I'd say Cholowski and Rasmussen have leaped Hronek for the #2 and 3 spots respectively but besides that my ranking should be ~identical to the summer.
