[Poe969]

where's the poll?

(that's what she said)

[Gaskal]

I vote Klimchuk.



Wait, no I can't.

[Bingo]

forgot a player and had to do it over to get it alphabetical.

Klimchuk for me again

[Poe969]

Klimchuck for sure. I think he's going to be amazing actually. This is awesome.

[jg13]

Went with Wotherspoon, I won't forget what he did this past year. I was very impressed

[MarkGio]

Its getting pretty close now. Wotherspoon, Klimchuck, Ortio, Gillies and Reinhart are all pretty close in my books.

Then the next tier is guys like Seiloff, Knight, Arnold, Ferland, Agostino, Roy, Culkin and Kulak (Edit: Jankowski in this tier too)

[Parallex]

I look at this list and ask myself who could be a star player? I invariable have to pick Gillies... a 6'6 goalie with a stellar save percentage playing in an adult mens league. That's a pretty good starting point for a potential elite #1 starter.

[Roof-Daddy]

Crazy all the solid choices still left at #6.

Wotherspoon
Ortio
Reinhart
Klimchuk
Jankowski
Gilles

Ridiculous.

Not to mention Sieloff and Ferland, who IMO would be on a lot more peoples radar had they not been struck down by injuries last season.

Deep, deep pool IMO.

[Browndog71]

Was between Klimchuk and Ortio for me. Went with Ortio.

[neo45]

Klimchuk

Only concern I have with him is how soft he is. If he played with an edge like Bennet or Poirer he would be right with them. Maybe our most skilled prospect besides Johnny

[bubbsy]

klimchuk for me.

[JiriHrdina]

Wotherspoon for me here. When asked who I think the Flames most under-rated prospect is - it is this guy. I think he could end up being a top 4 guy or even a complimentary top pairing guy. I see him being one of those guys that only fans who see him on a nightly basis appreciate.

Coin flip between him and Klimchuk

[Rick M.]

Klimchuk for me too, but I feel guilty for not voting for Reinhart.

[agulati]

3rd straight round voting for Gillies

[Bingo Jr.]

Gillies for me, 3rd round straight

Had he not struggled a bit in the second half, I might have picked him too. Because of that I'm taking a 'wait and see' approach to him. It was likely just part of the goaltender development process.

[Flames Fan, Ph.D.]

Voted for Ortio. Perhaps making a mountain out of a mole hill, but I thought that he really had poise in net. When making routine saves he didn't look stressed, strained or nervous. Only thing missing was him laying one arm nonchalantly on top of the net in between plays. I think he needs just a bit of improvement in the fundamentals, particularly tracking guys behind the net.

My choice is part informed, part ignorance. Informed about Ortio, but ignorant about Klimchuk as I've never even seen him play in a dev camp game, let alone Abby or Regina.

Went Granlund last time, Wotherspoon this time. Things are going to start getting pretty muddy after the next few prospects

[wingmaker]

Tough tough call. Could have gone Ortio or Wotherspoon here. Also, Arnold has to be in consideration soon.

Went Klimchuk because I don't think there is much separating him from Granlund and Poirier. Doesn't seem right to have another player separating the three forward prospects.
