Ronni, but I'm open to hearing opinions on Ciona and Schwindt. Both seem like good bottom 6 guys.

Well, my personal list ended with Solovyov at #7, so now we're firmly into "####ed if I know" territory

I've been voting Ciona for a bit now. Big dude, captain, that's the only reason. Seems like the kind of guy that will "will" himself onto the roster.

Ronni simply due to unknown upside.

Considered Ciona as well.

I liked his interviews this year. He also had a great season and looks like a guy that will be a good piece for the wranglers this season.

Hasn't the hype train on Kerins fizzled? He was in the east coast for his 20yo season, and never even cracked the league's top 50 in pts/g. Matthew Phillips, just for reference, put up a very strong rookie campaign in the AHL during his 20yo season.

Edit: can't help but wonder how badly the covid years derailed some of these young players, primarily the ones born in that 2000-2003 range. Similar in a way to Bennett losing his entire draft+1 season, and how that may have hindered his development.

Looking at the list by age I am even more emboldened to pick Topi Ronni. A full year of pro under his belt at 19 is nothing to sneeze at.

I'm intrigued by Adam Klapka's skill set. His first year of pro in North America was a success. He's got good hands, especially in tight given his size. With some turnover on the Wranglers, he could move up the lineup.

I didn't realize he is only 22. There may still be room for improvement. Traditionally the offensive peak years for a player are 23-25.

I went with Rory Kerins despite being a bit underwhelmed by his ECHL numbers. He is one of the few prospects left that has ever put up an elite season of production. He was keeping pace with Wyatt Johnson in 2021-22 (only six points back) and he is only 13 months older.

None of the prospects remaining are sure things, but I'm going with Kerins, Klapka, then Ciona.

Is it fair to say that of the remaining forwards, if there is any hope that they play for the Flames one day, it most likely will be as bottom six? Who has bottom six attributes?

Who can play an aggressive forecheck game? Who can play the possession game and drive play? Who can generate chances? Who can skate?

Tweet is about 18 months old but Kerins keeps good company in his projection
