Calgarypuck Prospect Ranking 2024 - Round 16

[Bingo]

Welcome to the annual Calgarypuck Prospect Poll!

As per usual ...

1. Rank the prospects as you like. Upside, chances, or trade value
2. I will try and do one a day which should get us to mid to late August
3. Graduates and/or runoffs will be determined in each case
4. Please don't complain that the polls are going to deep. We go until all the prospects are ranked, so don't vote if you don't want to.

Back to Soloyvov for me.

And easier to launch with 25 names left on list instead of 40!

[Iggy_12]

Has to be Misa on potential alone. Soloyvov seems like a sure fire NHLer but top end limited. Honorable mention to Lipinski

[Enoch Root]

Misa for me, then Solovyov

[keenan87]

Time for Solovyov

[looooob]

so Suniev really had as best I can tell a fine (not amazing but fine) season - and dropped 6 spots- I'd say solely due to being pushed down by an infusion on new talent (minor point maybe that Morin is -2 ?) that's good to see

I'm back to Solovyov..then I thnk I have about 2-3 more names before I start trying to weave in a goalie

Summary of returning prospects and movement.


2. Wolf, Dustin 84% -1
3. Coronato, Matt 74% -1
5. Honzek, Sam 45% -2
6. Pelletier, Jakob 33% -3
9. Morin, Étienne 43% -1
10. Strömgren, William 43% 0
11. Poirier, Jeremie 40% -5
14. Suniev, Aydar Run Off -6

No single player moved up. Stromgren the only one to hold serve, and that took a pretty big charge for half a season.

[Fire]

Misa was my pick but Klapka and Solovyov is close.

[Calgary4LIfe]

Solovyov for me. I think he can be a #4 reliable defencemen out there. Good size and skating ability.

[TheIronMaiden]

Really glad to see Solovyov lead the poll this AM.

[Leeman4Gilmour]

I haven't voted for him yet, but my early pick for surprise prospect is Ciona. Not saying he's going to be a star or anything, but I have a feeling he's going to end up being the hard hitting character 3rd liner he's expected to be as early as this year.

Current pick in bold. Misa is a total boom/bust type prospect, but he's surprisingly sneaky in how he generates offense. Could find a way to the NHL with that type of game.

Others considered: Solovyov, Kuznetsov.

[TheScorpion]

This, to me, is Solovyov. He'll be an NHL player for sure.

[You Need a Thneed]

How are we are ROUND 16 - and there are FIVE guys still on the list that are still unpicked that have already played NHL games?

[Gaudreau is a Ninja]

Misa

[SuperMatt18]

Misa, Solovoyov, Klapka, Morton, Hurtig, Lipinski, and Kuznetsov probably the next grouping here.

Went with Misa as I think he has the highest upside of the guys remaining.

[cral12]

"Cool Hand Luke, Don't Call Me Mike" Misa.

As adapted from Cali Panthers Fan - update fwiw...

Klapka, he's a unique skill-set and on the cusp of the NHL. Solo is the only competition excluding Longshots.

Looking like Lipinski the only other one at this point with even a chance of holding ground

He is going to win the Michael Ferland award for being slept on in this poll but becoming an impact player.
