Still gotta go with Nilsson, who has the chance to shoot up the charts. Add Spurgeon and let's hope he hits a growth spurt this year.

Hipster Doofus · 08-02-2009, 10:04 PM

Andy MacDonald. When Martinek and Sutton go down he's our first call up. Good height, speed, and a nice slap shot. A decent package that is pretty much NHL ready.

Voted Anders Nilsson. He should have been off the board already. In my opinion most upside of remaining prospects.

It was between Nillson, Donovan and Anders Lee for me. The first two I named may have more potential, but I love the upside of Anders Lee. 6'2 210 and growing. Two sport star that is giving up football to concentrate solely on hockey for the first time in his life. Playing a year of American junion (Green Bay?) before heading to Notre Dame. This kid may be 4 or 5 years away (still only 22 at that point), but with 3 or 4 years to learn and grow at a good program like Notre Dame, and with his natural size and ability, I like this kid alot.
By the way, the top 20 prospects looks very respectable for the first time in a long time. Just imagine if Josh Bailey was on that list.. geez!
