Summer Prospect Ranking Poll Round 11 - Calgarypuck Forums - The Unofficial Calgary Flames Fan Community

Bingo · 08-12-2013, 06:41 AM

Lots of disagreement on the Flames prospect ranking so why not poll them out through August and come up with a list that we can refer back to each summer.

Pick the top one left on the list each round.

Some pick on a mix of potential and ceiling, others just on talent ... use your own methodology.

With Klimchuck finally coming off my list I moved on to Horak. I think there has been some shiny new play thing action around existing prospects, maybe not to the extent that some are indicating but to some degree.

The guy is still on his entry level contract, and didn't stay with the Flames out of camp last year after a few games so he's not a settled veteran NHL player yet and still qualifies in my mind.

Had Arnold, Granlund, Culkin and Reinhart in mind too.

For me Horak, Bouma, Ramo, Berra, Cundari have played too much pro hockey to be considered prospects so it was down to Reinhart and Granlund. Reinhart looks to have a chance to be a 4th line possible 3rd line C and Granlund while having some skill looks like a Finnish league scorer for his career so went with Reinhart.

StrykerSteve · 08-12-2013, 07:21 AM

Agostino. Guy is future Captain material.

Alberta_Beef · 08-12-2013, 07:23 AM

Agostino. He has everything needed to be an impact middle 6 winger.

JiriHrdina · 08-12-2013, 07:23 AM

Choosing between Horak, Agostino, Granlund, or Reinhart. Went with the college kid

Hugh Jahrmes · 08-12-2013, 07:36 AM

I just love the fact we can flesh out a top 20 list as easily as a top 5 recently.

Bingo · 08-12-2013, 07:48 AM

I just haven't seen enough of Agostino to be as high on him. ... Literally did nothing at the development camp when I was there.

Love to hear others are enthused though.

Table 5 · 08-12-2013, 07:48 AM

Went with Horak this time. I don't know enough about Agostino, and I think his ceiling is higher than Reinhart.

Pierre "Monster" McGuire · 08-12-2013, 07:53 AM

It's between Breen and Horak with me. I'll go with Breen though.

Cali Panthers Fan · 08-12-2013, 07:56 AM

Still Granlund for me. He's got the potential to be a 2nd line material.

_Q_ · 08-12-2013, 08:05 AM

Went with Horak again, though I agree with the sentiment that he might not be considered a prospect anymore. The fact that he was on the list and the fact that I think he is currently a better player than anyone else on the list made me go with him.

With that said, maybe we should re-think who is considered a prospect and modify the poll accordingly.

dissentowner · 08-12-2013, 08:19 AM

I went with Kanzig here. He is still pretty raw but defenseman usually take a while and he seems to have the tools there. At 6'7 this guy could be a huge part of our D going forward.

Redmonster · 08-12-2013, 08:29 AM

Horak doesn't belong on this list, in my mind he's a full time NHL'r. So I voted Granlund.

Enoch Root · 08-12-2013, 08:30 AM

I don't consider Horak, Berra or Ramo prospects.

So for me, it was between Reinhart and Granlund. Went Reinhart.

kermitology · 08-12-2013, 08:46 AM

Granlund again.

kyuss275 · 08-12-2013, 08:58 AM

Went Reinhart again. We are down to the 2b/3a ceiling players. A center that plays a complete 200' game is worth more in trade value. Could have made a case for Horak but i think the flames see him as a winger.

Calgary4LIfe · 08-12-2013, 08:59 AM

Granlund for me. Best chance left as a top 6 scorer, and he has some really high-end skill, and what I consider the best shot amongst all Flames' prospects.

SuperMatt18 · 08-12-2013, 09:02 AM

Went with Agostino here.

Think Horak, Agostino, Granlund, Reinhart, Ramage, and Arnold are all potential choices here.

Just like Agostino's game the most here though. The guys upside is Ryan Callahan and this team could really use a forward like that moving ahead.

Erick Estrada · 08-12-2013, 09:09 AM

Though hard about Agostino and Reinhart but went with Granlund as he has that look of a dangerous offensive player. The guy was atop the WJHC scoring which would normally get fans salivating but for some reason he's getting overlooked.
