Default Calgarypuck Prospect Ranking 2020 - Round 2

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.

2020 Results
1. Valimaki - 85%

Going with Zary.

2020 was a deeper draft and by many accounts we got a guy that some of the experts had in the top 15 at 24.

Matty Phillips. I can see him having a Cam Atkinson type career when he finally gets his big break.

Zary for me...
He is a centre, and based on feedback from pro-scouts we should be excited.
His stats compare highly with other high-end picks from recent years.

Pelletier, Wolf or Petterson next

Jakob Pelletier stagnated in terms of production. Zary hasn't.
So Zary it is.

Zary would have probably been a late 1st/early 2nd in 2019 if he was born a couple of weeks prior.

He really killed it in the WHL this year, and should’ve easily been a top 15 pick.

Voting him as I view him as a solid NHLer one day.

The next vote is where it gets interesting for me.

It was between Zary and Pelletier for me. Ended up voting for Pelletier.

A centerman who has all the tools, including goal scoring. What's not to like?

I voted Zary.

My pick is Zary, although I won't be able to make it until I can get back on my computer.

I went with Zary over Pelletier, mostly because he plays C instead of the wing

Surprised by the lack of love for Pelletier. Still early I guess.

Pelletier. Not that he's a great prospect, but we know where he is and its further along the development path. Still shows equal upside.

I view Zary and Pelletier as pretty equal. Zary is a C, so him first

How did Pelletier stagnate? Went from 1.36 to 1.44 pts/gm in draft +1.

And Zary hasnt even started his +1 season.

Disagree with this Zary vs. Pelletier -thing. Zary improved more than Pelletier last season point-wise, although Pelletier also continued to progress. And because Zary is a center, it's pretty easy to vote for him over Pelletier, who clearly is #3.

E: There's no "lack of love" with Pelletier, he's gotten second most votes in round 2.

Meanwhile, Zary went from 1.06 to 1.51

They are 6 months apart in age

Wondering when to vote for Mackey. He is 24, on a one year contract and so I expect will get a long look at camp. Really wonder what will happen for many players if AHL isn’t economically feasible this year.

This round, total tossup between the last two first round picks. Guess I’ll go with Zary as he came from a deeper draft and neither player yet to play outside of junior.

Zary improved more point wise because he went from draft -1 to draft year. Pelletier went up by almost the same amount from draft -1 to draft year. you have to analyze the draft season to draft season.

There are lots of reasons to go for Zary here but you have to compare point increases properly.
