Which of Ottawa's prospects will SURPRISE next year?

Emmerson Etem

Because you want to find out if we sign a D-man?

You think he could step in and play? I've been trying to read up on him as he sounds like a dude we'd take, there was a knock on him, can't remember what it was now. Either work ethic or play away from the puck (which would be natural for a young dude).

And draft, and trades, and w/e else. Mostly a D man though, yes.

If Evander Kane, Duchene, Tavares, O'Reilly, Kulikov, etc all play then he certainly has a chance, it all depends on how he would perform.

I don't see Murray taking Etem, not that he's bad or anything, so this is a pointless debate

Jeff Skinner will surprise, or Ryan Spooner lol

For now I'd take Butler. top 3 best shot on the team already.
Gotta train a lot this summer though...

Yeah, he'll be ready I think though, but you're right, he needs to stay as close to the Ottawa conditioning staff as humanly possible.

So the answer is yes then. Who's the next prospect to live with Alfie.

Perhaps a Poll?

I know, but you still see a bunch of people saying "this guy is a top 6 or top 9 guy for sure"... like they have any clue at all. The only thing people can base their opinions on are The Olympics which was limited to a couple games which they saw.

Wick may very well turn into a top 9 guy but we'll see how he reacts when he takes his first hit from Matt Cooke or Ben Eager or Danial Carcillo. He could fly right back to Europe.
