I actually had the flames winning 7 of 10 buy decided to go homer or go home.
It kept coming back to how you could argue for the flames to win each round, but the same couldn't be said for every Oiler/Canuck prospect. Having said that, there certainly was a heavy dose of homerism in there.
I don't see many impartial observers picking Horvat over Gaudreau at this point. Last year maybe, but not after a Hobey Baker, several NCAA scoring records and what he showed against men at the WHC
Baertschi had one poor season, this last one. He's still decent prospect and had scored at a 0.5 PPG. Marincin has so far shown he can be a bottom pairing defender maybe more. You could easily go Marincin, but it's no landslide.
Klefbom over Poirier? Ok, maybe, but I don't see it. Impartial observer could make that case. Klefbom has shown me, but Poirier looks to be a great gritty wonder and Klefbom has taken some steps backwards IMO.
Gaunce over Granlund? Granlund scored over a PPG in his first year in the AHL. Gaunce hasn't improved in the two seasons since his draft. Again, maybe you make that case, but I disagree.
I can see mccann over Klimchuk if you like newer prospects, but they are essentially the same type of player but Klimchuk appears to have more offensive upside. Potatoes potahohs.
Corrado over Reinhart? Maybe. He's certainly proved more, but you could make a case for the former Kootenay captain who led his AHL team in scoring in his second year in the AHL. I originally had this in corrado' favour
Vey could easily won his round too.
