Agostino for me .... and still think he'll be a guy that we see as underrated in this ranking in a few years.
Getting closer to 20, no sure things at all any more clearly, but still a pile of guys that have interest to me including; Culkin, Gilmour, Hanowski, Hickey, Kanzig, McDonald, Ollas Mattson, Ramage, Smith, Van Brabant and Wolf
Crazy ...
Those old lists really showed me that you just don't know what's coming from deep in a prospect rank.

as much as i'm hesitant on picking goalies, i think something's to be said to be the highest pick goalie in a draft, so went with macdonald.

I went with McDonald too. As much as I like him, I've held off picking him to this point as who knows how good junior goalies will develop.

Last year in round 16 I went to the "obvious" pick - Bouma.. Bouma ended up getting picked as the #21 best prospect and at the end of the year there was only him and Monahan that graduated from the list last year and are looking at 500+ NHL games (barring injury).
This year I hope I am as astute (lucky) with Wolf. Until the Flames signed Bollig I thought that Wolf was a lock on the the NHL roster.
I can't see how Wolf slots into any of the possible line combinations and depth charts but at the start of last year Bouma was penciled in at best as 4th line /spare forward and yet got 78 NHL games averaging 12:36 /game
In raw TOI Bouma was #8 of forwards on the Flames last year..... (Injuries to Glencross and Jones put Bouma into the top 9 for basically the whole year)

I've been voting for Wolf for many polls in a row now. He has the best chance of any of these players to play on the team next season, that's why.

Gonna vote Wolf until he's no longer an option.

I really like Bouma and was happy to see him come through with a terrific year last year. However, I'm not convinced that he can be considered a sure bet to play +500 games. His skill set very realistically still qualifies him as an AHL / NHL tweener.

Smith for me. No way I would trade him for anyone else on that list.
Then Agostino and Wolf (because too much uncertainty with an 18 year old goalie)

I think Wolf has a great chance to make the NHL this year, but I don't really consider him much of a "prospect" at this point, but more of a pro player who is transitioning over the way Cervenka did. Wolf is the player he is at this point, and I don't see much more potential out of him than what he is already playing at.
For those reasons, I will be abstaining any vote for Wolf. I think he could be a good player, but I think it skews prospect rankings to put him in the mix. I don't think anyone who has played 3 professional seasons or more (AHL or European men's league) and is over 23 should be thought of as a prospect. Same goes for Billins, Cundari, Acolatse, or Thiessen (even though he is a goalie, 28 years old is just too old to be considered a prospect).
Hanowski gets a pass for one more year, as does Elson, Jooris, and Ramage. Next year they are on the cusp of what I would consider an AHL journeyman rather than a prospect.
This round it's Agostino, who looked like he can become a bit of a goalscorer in the NHL if not for some bad luck during his cup of coffee. A little training and coaching and he could be a serviceable bottom 6 forward with some offensive upside. I like the way he thinks the game and anticipates the play, just have to get him some experience at the pro level first.

Went with the Big Rig. I think he's the only possible (although longshot) "impact" player left on the list. He's still years away, but I'm not sure I see another future NHL regular left.

Yeah, I think I have my next four set, but then I really have no good basis from which to evaluate the remaining group.

Agostino seems to me like a Horak 2.0.
No part of his game is elite, but he's steady all around. Guys like this too often become NHL/AHL tweeners... Not enough scoring for the top 6, not enough size/toughness to be a bottom 6 role player.
I went Smith. He could outright bust, but right off the bat, his size gives him a higher potential IMO than Agostino.

Agostino. Probably the last prospect that I vote for before the 2014 picks come into play.
