I still like Pettersen, but he's barely a prospect at this point. He could still make the NHL, but it will likely be for a cup of coffee and then off to Europe.
Bell has the size and tools, and has progressed well since his draft. Still lots of work to do, but he has runway left to do it.

I chose Pettersen as well, but I see more potential in him than you do. I like his shot, his hands, and he has a decent speed. I also think that he would actually benefit from playing with NHLers and could be great on the 3rd line.
Just have a look at some of his highlights this season

I have like basically surface-level knowledge on Flames prospects that are in the top 3, maybe, but once you get down to the 18th?! I'm pretty much voting based on how cool I think the name is.

Whoa that goal that starts at 2:12 is nasty. Crazy awareness. He doesn’t just fake the shot, he fakes it but still pushes it off his stick knowing the D has a play on it… disgusting.
Bell is a true "unicorn"-he's 6'4", skates like a fart in a windstorm, and plays a power-forward game. He probably should've been on the list long before now.

At this stage that is as valid of a prospect evaluation as anything else.

It could be my rose colored glasses but I see him as a Paul Byron(a.k.a small Paul) potential at the NHL level.
He's also higher on my list than a lot of prospects we already rated so I'm biased. If he doesn't make the big club then either he or Zary will lead the Wranglers in scoring IMO.

Fart in the windstorm sold me. Did not know this.
