Not sure about Tim Harrison - what is his status with the organization now?

[dammage79]

Only one on that list I would not consider a prospect still would be Freddie Hamilton.

He's on Team 2 for the development camp at least.

I don't have a problem calling any of those guys prospects. List looks good to me.

[flame^thrower]

Didn't Karnaukhov go overseas? I thought I read that .. maybe I dreamt it hahah

[btimbit]

^Flames still have his NHL rights though

List looks good to me.

Always forget about Nick Schneider

[Da_Chief]

Harrison is one of my dark horse prospects. He has good potential. He's improved every year on a bad team with limited time. He's always stood out for good reasons at the development camps too.

Ok thx wasn't too sure about that, but was sure I read he went .. still hope for him yet I suppose!

[Roof-Daddy]

Yeap nailed it.

I think Hamilton, Hathaway and Wotherpsoon all graduate to NHLers this season, but are OK to all be considered prospects at this point still. I also think that all three will end up out of the top 10 or even 15 in the voting too due to lower upsides.

I believe I heard he is going back to Colgate for his senior year.

[Five-hole]

Can't wait for this. My top 10 looks something like this:

1: Tkachuk
2-4: Andersson, Jankowski, Gillies
5-7: Shinkaruk, Poirier, Kylington
8-10: MacDonald, Mangiapane, Klimchuk

Wotherspoon should probably be in there, but it's getting to the point where he should already have proved himself as not a prospect anymore.

Excited for development camp to see who jumps up the rankings with strong showings like Eat Bread last year.

Mangiapane. His name literally means Eat Bread apparently.

I wonder if Parrsons will be ranked ahead of McDonald

He is for me.

[kyuss275]

#1 vote could be interesting this year.

[Samonadreau]

List looks great. Do we wait till after development camp to start the voting?

#1 will be Tkachuk in a runaway IMO.

Hamilton and Wotherspoon are both RFA's with a few games of experience between 2013-16. Only difference is position. think you have to either include both or exclude both.

I'd include them.
