Default Calgarypuck Prospect Ranking 2017 - Round 16

It's baaaaaaaaaaaaaack

Calgarypuck's 5th Annual Prospect Ranking Poll Series

Here are the last 5 years for a quick glance ...
Prospect Rankings
2013 - http://forum.calgarypuck.com/showthr...ospect+Ranking

As per usual the vote is up to you. Some see it as most likely to play, some see it as highest ceiling, others see it as a mix of both.

Happy voting!

Who will join Sean Monahan, Johnny Gaudreau, Sam Bennett and Matthew Tkachuk as the top prospect. Previous four have gone straight to the show.

Voted Olias Mattson....but completely forgot Shinkaruk still existed. Should probably be him.

voted shinkaruk. Contemplated hathaway (forgot about him), but in my view, he tops out as a 4th/energy line guy, so voting on on potential higher ceiling guys still.

It's finally Hunter's turn. A bit of an underwhelming season last year to be sure, but the guy can definitely put up some points. It remains to be seen whether he's an NHLer, and I worry about his mental approach to the game. When he was sent down last year, he seemed to take it too hard and it spilled into his on-ice game. Personally, I've always felt that Hunter lacked that the mental makeup to improve his game enough to make the NHL. That could still change, but he hasn't indicated that he's going to do anything more than score some points as a pro, and that's only worthwhile if you're going to put up a LOT of points.

I hope the kid can develop the rest of his game to be passable at the NHL level, otherwise he's going to be one of those veteran AHLers that teams sign to provide some talent and experience to surround their prospects.

I was very close to taking Pribyl, but I can't based purely on the fact that we really don't know what he's capable of in the AHL. He could be quite a dark horse prospect this year simply because of that.

I went with Tuulola just because I have a feeling he could really turn into something great. He showed flashes of it and I think playing in a mens league will really help him out.

Shinkaruk has my vote. Plummeting out of the top 15 for a guy many thought was going to make the jump next year.

Still hoping long term we win both of those Canuck trades. Andersen is trending very well even though Sven appears to be turning into a 20g 40pt threat I still like our chances in that deal. Granlund surprisingly put up solid numbers last year and Shinkaruk failed to impress in his short stint with the big club.

Clearly both to the Nucks right now for sure.

If Andersson becomes a 2nd pairing defensemen Calgary wins that deal. The Granlund thing is tougher as he wasn't going to stick in Calgary and was waiver eligible. Also worth watching is his shooting percentage, sky high last year and doubtful he repeats.

12 and 10% shooter previous seasons and 16% last year.

Not sure if anyone left will be a full time NHLer so went with upside in AOM.

Went with Wotherspoon. I think he has a chance to make the team out of camp (although edge to Kulak) especially if we sustain any injuries on defense in training camp (knock on wood.) He had a very good year in the AHL by all accounts. Don't think they would've qualified him if they didn't see some NHL upside as Treliving doesn't seem hesitant to cut bait on prospects they don't believe in.

Shinkaruk was in consideration as well but I give the edge to the dman who I think has a better chance of making the team. Shinkaruk is more likely to make the Vegas Golden Knights than the Calgary Flames IMO. I could see them scooping him up off waivers and giving him an audition if they think they need some scoring.

Funny Fox was 16th last year behind McDonald, Prybil and Wotherspoon ... The 2013 edition had Ferland in the 20s.

You just never know!

This was my thinking as well. I'm not a big Spoon fan, but aside from Kulak, he's probably the guy they'd trust most as a call-up. Qualifying him was a big deal IMO.

Went with Shinkaruk, considered Wotherspoon but he's just such a fringe guy and hasn't been able to stick.

I voted Hathaway for his guarantee to have an impact on an NHL roster.
But Lindstrom, and Tuulola have some potential among others. Making their respective WJC rosters is not a bad sign. It's also interesting that the organization hasn't given up on Wotherspoon. He has potential still.

I agree on the Sven deal. I like where Andersen is projecting and feel he is going to make that trade look like a good one for Calgary

I am not so convinced Granlund was sure to hit the waiver wire last year. I know that was some of the rationale to trade him. Perhaps the Flames don't acquire Versteeg or Chiasson and Granlund would have had a spot? Either way after one year the trade is not a regrettable one for Calgary as they do have strong forward depth and Shinkaruk may still pan out

I believe Shinkaruk is going to be a bust. Was very happy Calgary didn't pick him the year we had three first rounders. Of course he ends up a Flame anyway. Meh.

Went with Hathaway. Really think he is going to turn out to be a good player for the Flames. Even with his low ice time last year, it always seemed like he made a difference in the game. Winning teams need good foot soldiers like him.

I have no hope for Shinkaruk.

Voted Pribyl, but I guess I must have missed Hathaway
