I went with McDonald. He gets judged unfairly by his numbers, when you look closer he is facing 35+ shots most nights. He has never had a very good team in front of him.

I think when he has pro level players in front of him you will a drastic change in his numbers.

Pribyl too me is getting too much credit for putting up numbers in a ECHL equivalent.

Kulak is a tremendous skater, but he lacks the required hockey sense to be a regular at the NHL level.

Meh. He'll be 25 a month into this season. He's the type of player who, if he makes it, will get 2-3 good seasons in as an energy guy then fade away. I put very little emphasis on NHL readiness when I vote. Almost every other player has a bigger upside.

I loved Hathaway for the first 5 games or so and then it seemed like the momentum died down. I think at best Hathaway is a 4th line energy, role player. There are other players left that have much higher ceilings.

That's it. If Pribyl doesn't win this time I'm done voting for him.

Oh man, there's nothing worse than starting to vote for a guy in these polls and then realize you are likely going to be doing it for many many rounds.
That is my lot as I continue to vote for Pollock.

I am in the same boat voting for McDonald.

Bounce back year for Klimchuck. Slightly ahead of Kulak for me

Parson was a 2nd round pick, had good stats, and has won. Can't ask for much more.

Ceiling/potential is a more important prospect evaluation metric than NHLer readiness IMO.

I'm going with Kulak here. At this point he's shown enough to get a cup of coffee in the NHL, and serviceable 5-7 defenseman who come with low cap hits, are still very valuable pieces to have in your organization. I think Kulak has a very good chance to give you that, with an outside shot at being a top 4 guy for a couple of seasons when he's in his prime.

I would guess that him and a guy like Hamilton will finish a ways down. These guys will play in the NHL and get a few games. If hockey had a Wins above replacement level player. These guys would be the metric of the replacement level player.

He's a goalie prospect, which makes him a total crapshoot. Even Gillies, who is much older and more proven, isn't even close to being a sure thing.
