Yeah, I remember the Hatcher and Rathje signings. Would have been solid pickups BEFORE the obstruction crack down. However, even though Hatcher did provide some leadership and toughness, both ended up being bad deals.

Here are the final results of the top prospect polls I ran on HF.

1 - Ivan Provorov - D (59%)
2 - Travis Sanheim - D (88%)
3 - Samuel Morin - D (67%)
4 - Shayne Gostisbehere - D (47%)
5 - Travis Konecny - F (83%)
6 - Scott Laughton - F (84%)
7 - Robert Hagg - D (58%)
8 - Nicholas Aube-Kubel - F (68%)
9 - Oskar Lindblom - F (37%)
10 - Nick Cousins - F (37%)
11 - Anthony Stolarz - G (60%)
12 - Mark Friedman - D (47%)
13 - Felix Sandstrom - G (34%)
14 - Taylor Leier - F (31%)
15 - Radel Fazeleev - F (46%)
16 - Matej Tomek - G (33%)
17 - Danick Martel - F (25%)
18 - Mark Alt - D (28%)
19 - Christian Marti - D (32%)
20 - Mikhail Vorobyov - F (37%)

Based on the last poll, David Kase would have been 21 and Tyrell Goulbourne would have been 22.

Thanks for posting. I'm dense, why are the % and number ranked not correlated?

It is percentage of the vote in that particular poll (1st overall, 2nd overall, etc).

Nice!
Personally, I'd probably flip Konecny and Ghost and maybe Aube-Kubel and Hagg, but all in all, pretty much dead on, IMO

I wouldn't of included Marti or Alt personally. I'm cool with the the first 8, after that I'd do everything much different.

Konecny could even be as high as 3rd

Yeah, he could. But for now, I'd still rank Morin ahead of him, though that could certainly change as the season progresses.

Nothing was weirder than the retirement of goalie Jeff Hackett due to the condition described as "positional vertigo"

Going back to the BSchenn discussion from the last thread. This is the type of return I'd want if we were trading him.

I think we all hope that!

I just dunno where there is room with all of the other contracts. Plus, as we know, Hexy likes to move guys along slowly so that their growth is not stifled.

El Nino! Interesting return. Might work for both teams. Nino is a natural wing. As much as I've hoped to see more from Brayden, I still think he has a touch more value than Niederreiter.

I could get behind a Nino for Brayden deal. Earlier in the summer, before he re-signed with Zona, I was hoping to see some sort of deal involving Schenn for Boedker. Im a big fan of his game, and much like Schenn, I don't quite think we have seen his ceiling yet.
