Default Calgarypuck Prospect Ranking 2017 - Round 18

It's baaaaaaaaaaaaaack

Calgarypuck's 5th Annual Prospect Ranking Poll Series

Here are the last 5 years for a quick glance ...
Prospect Rankings
2013 - http://forum.calgarypuck.com/showthr...ospect+Ranking

As per usual the vote is up to you. Some see it as most likely to play, some see it as highest ceiling, others see it as a mix of both.

Happy voting!

Who will join Sean Monahan, Johnny Gaudreau, Sam Bennett and Matthew Tkachuk as the top prospect. Previous four have gone straight to the show.

Wotherspoon, he's easily the player on the list with the highest chance of making the NHL IMO. Very decent chance he gets in games next season. Then Adam Ollas-Mattson. Then I'll be debating between Tuulola, Pribyl, and Healey probably.

Lindstrom for a couple of rounds. Get a feeling of good upside here.

Me too, but I'm still going with Ruzicka for his mix of decent skill and size, which might lead to him being a bottom 6 NHL center in the future.

AOM. His world juniors he reminded me of Hjalmarsson and his AHL stint he was mighty impressive.

Went Wotherspoon again, first time in a while where I've had to vote for the same guy two straight rounds

Wotherspoon for the umpteenth time and next would be Lomberg. IIRC Lomberg and Tkachuk had a good time together in Penticton with their hi-jinks.

I chose Linus Lindstrom, based on what I've read he seems to be a responsible 2 way center who is cutting his teeth playing men's hockey. Here is some reading material FWIW.

Here is a Swedish article about him that google translate doesn't totally butcher.

Ya, I still think tuulola has a decent chance of being an impact player with his size and skill. To me Tspoon is a #7 guy, there's still a lot of guys I like more than him but I'd love to be wrong about him.

AOM for me, Wotherspoon is at or near the bottom of my list.

Lomberg is like a Scott Nichol at best. Long shot to ever be an NHL regular and if he is it'll be as a 4th liner. So low upside and low likelihood of making the NHL. Don't see any justification for having him this high.

Healey is interesting, was somewhat highly touted in college. Bit of an unknown, not sure why we'd have him ahead of Wotherspoon (who's played in the NHL) and AOM who has played at the World Juniors.

What's your argument for those players?

Uhh, Wotherspoon. Could still have a strong camp and win the #6 spot on the bottom pairing. At the very least is an AHL top pairing guy that can mentor and shelter the kids.

Oops, missed AOM. I would have voted him. Sounds like the organization is very high on him and he brings a rare blend of skill, speed and physicality that is sorely lacking on our projected defense of the future.

AOM didn't even earn a NHL contract. He's signed to an AHL one as he's regressed since his knee injury.

AOM is an exciting dark horse prospect. He reminds me of Regehr in his stature and approach to the game, and there aren't that many players kicking around with that sort of skill set. Maybe traditional stay-at-home bruisers are a dying breed, but if he learns how to keep up with the pace of the modern NHL he could be a real diamond in the rough.
