canucklehead44 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Kassian and Lack are our only bluechip guys IMO. Jensen, Gaunce, Corrado, Schroeder etc. either have "boom bust" potential or a limited ceiling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossram Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 In terms of potential: 1. Jensen 2. Kassian 3. Schroeder 4. Lack 5. Gaunce Honorable mention to Connauton, who sits outside the top-five for me. In terms of the likelihood of being a contributing NHLer: 1. Lack 2. Gaunce 3. Jensen 4. Kassian 5. Schroeder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TmanVan Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I give it one more full year, especially after the world juniors, until Gaunce is #1 . Gaunce’s off-ice conditioning has resulted in impressive showings during fitness testing at both the 2012 Top Prospect Game and NHL Scouting Combine. At the February showcase game in beautiful Kelowna, Gaunce finished first in nine categories of testing while scouts witness him rack up twelve top 10 finishes at the recent 2012 NHL Combine. His commitment to all aspects of hockey has paid off as Bulls’ Head Coach Burnett leaned heavily on his star forward using him in all situations. Additionally, the second year center was named an “assistant captain” adopting a leadership role that Gaunce was born to fill.The top heart-and-soul player of this draft class, Brendan Gaunce is a player that will contribute in a number of ways at the NHL levelGaunce’s value lies in his size, intelligence, versatility and attention to detail that makes him, arguably, the draft’s top two-way forward Is he as pure a scorer as Jensen? Probably not.... but I'll take the heart and soul, captain material, big Canadian anyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOMapleLaughs Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Lack. Jensen. K-Con. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langdon Algur Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I'm going off the board and saying Gaunce. Even though he is the youngest of our top prospects I think he might be nearly the most NHL ready and he sounds like a close to a sure thing as you get in an 18 year old prospect.

Joel Heyman Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Right now: Schroeder. in nhl 12, everytime he shoots, he just snipes it past the goalie. I have a feeling Jensen is gonna amazing in a few years though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuck nit Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I would like to see both Rodin and Tommernes surprise to the upside. La Bate has the demeanor and attitude to make it to the big show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmonberries Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Gaunce or Jensen, in the longer term. I'd say Gaunce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
