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.

Poor Carroll, not even going to beat out the Russians that will never play here.

He still could

This round went Mattson. Good size, plays centre. Still lots of time for him to blossom.

[bubbsy]

I know nothing of the guys remaining. Went with Mattson based on some comments from the last poll on the kid.

[Jiri Hrdina]

Going with Pollock. Rough first year of pro but still time to rebound

[Flashpoint]

I've never heard of half of these guys and the ones I do know are way past their prime.

[Gaudreau is a Ninja]

Mattson this round pretty big dude with decent skill

[btimbit]

Went with Karankhoohaw

Would have voted him way higher if he didn't go back to Russia

[Bingo]

This round 30 Carroll / Mattson battle is so freaking exciting I can barely stand it!

[GranteedEV]

Mattson has more upside (a 4C or even 3C) than Caroll (a 4RW or even 3RW). For example it's the difference between Matt Stajan and Alex Chiasson.

I also like Sveningson, Karnaukhov, Rafikov

[TheScorpion]

Carroll because he was entertaining to watch in Victoria.

[Gaskal]

I'll have a soft spot for Carroll because of his messy "play for the Calgary Flames" kid-scrawl in response to the grade school profile question "My Dream is to one day..."

[Love]

Sveningsson > Schnieder > Mattson = Carroll

[savardandjokinen]

Sveniiningsson>Pollock>Karnaukhov>Rafikov>Mattson> Schneider>Carroll

I've never seen anything in Carroll other than being big and tough, which we have other guys who can play that role. I hope I am wrong obviously since he's one of our prospects but even number 30 I feel is too high for him

[Reggie Dunlop]

What the heck. At this stage going with Nick Schneider.

[1991 Canadian]

It’s interesting how spread out the votes are at this point. Honestly, I don’t think anybody can say they’ve intently watched the majority of these players in the last few years. You never know who is going to be the next Jooris.

Rafikov is the most intriguing guy on this list to me. It looks like he finally established himself in the KHL last year. If I understand correctly, the Flames have his rights until he is 27. At some point, Brodie/Stone/Hamonic will move on. It is a pipe dream, but getting Rafikov on a cheap 1 year deal might be a good value stopgap for the Flames at that time.

The odds of him ever coming over to the NHL are slim, but if he does continue to develop, I think his value to the Flames is higher than anyone else left on the list.

[Caged Great]

For me

Sveningsson
Mattson
Karnaukhov
Rafikov
Schneider
Carroll
Pollock

[Macindoc]

At this point, pretty much none of them have a chance of making it and being an impact player, so there's little to choose between them.
