Calgarypuck Prospect Ranking 2020 - Round 22

[Bingo]

It's time for the 8th annual Calgarypuck Prospect Ranking, but at a different time of year and certainly at a different time.

First a look back at previous years can be done with this handy link: Previous Results

Once again vote how you want. There are those that vote 100% on potential, some that vote 100% on the likelihood to see an NHL rink, others that apply a mix, some using the value in a trade. Completely up to you.

I'll run one a day until we are done, and then FlamesAddiction wants to do a one off list version to compare the results.

We start with 35 names so this should get us pretty close to a Flames camp.

[ForeverFlameFan]

These are the rounds in which I hope my guy isn’t picked so I don’t have to think very hard.

Zag for the 3rd time!

[Bingo]

21 "elected" but I still have three or four guys that are interesting.

Once again not saying chalk full of blue chip prospects, but a deep list of players that have something going for them.

[Scroopy Noopers]

This kid has a great shot.

[David Struch]

I have Nodler just outside my top 10. (based on his leadership intangibles)

[Canada 02]

Nodler is on the USA WJC invite list, so might be considered among the best American players in his age group for the role that he is expected to play. Should be in the mid-teens, IMO

[Funkhouser]

I wouldn't be surprised to see Philp near a PPG in the AHL this year and pushing for a place in the roster next year. He is a dynamic and smart player with good wheels and a great shot. Seems to be a carbon copy of Derek Ryan including the right shot - in fact, maybe he will replace Derek next season!!

[Tkachukwagon]

Going for my guy Popsicle.

[TheScorpion]

Wait, Pospisil hasn't gone yet?

Wow, that's nuts. Both Pospisil and Philp should be around 5-10 spots higher IMO

[1qqaaz]

I will say, I don't know how you can justify having Josh Nodler over Martin Pospisil. Grit and leadership can only account for so much.

Really?

Rounds 22 vs 23 and someone can be wrong?

I'm voting for him since a few days. I hope he can be somewhat like Antoine Roussel. A**hole player. But our A**hole player

[JTech780]

For the 5th time, Martin Pospisil

[Abatedmean]

Feel like I have also been voting for Pospisil for way too long

I just think it's interesting how different each person's perspective is in these rounds. People see things in Noddler that I definitely don't.

I still believe that at least one of the players left becomes a regular NHLer. We all just have almost no idea which player(s) that will be.

I voted for Artem Zagidulin, because I could see him rebounding after an iffy first year in North America. But his KHL numbers so far don't look too promising, in a small sample size.

[Scroopy Noopers]

All those anti-goalieites I complain about who pushed Parsons down, are back to Philp me off again.

[TheScorpion]

It's amazing how deep this prospect group is.

[cral12]

I went: Carl-Johan Lerby

Up Next for me in no particular order
Big Snag Zag
Philp
Nodler
Pospisil
Solovyov
Tuulola

Pretty wild how deep this group is.

This is the way.

[Sandman]

Lerby has been playing pro, and putting up good numbers. He may see time in the NHL this season. I think it's crazy he's dropped so low.

[jg13]

Just curious how deep people see our prospect pool?

First time it’s been this deep in recent memory? Obviously 2013 when we had Gaudreau and Monahan both on this list it had the highest top end talent but in terms of depth first time in maybe ever since I followed this team in 2001.
