Nice to see someone vote for Prince. He's my next guess but for now it's Chabot.
I have him as a second pairing guy going forward but could become a top pairing guy also. Playing with karlsson Down the road.

That was me. I'm voting with what I know, which admittedly isn't much with regards to brand new draft picks. The new guys will get my vote, just not until 4/5/6.

Prince would get my next pick so I know what you are saying. Unfortunately I doubt that kind of sane thinking will get enough traction around here.

There are 3 guys, maybe 4 if you include White who are close to NHL ready and in no order it's Paul, Wikstrand, and Puempel.

I don't think Wideman is a prospect anymore because of the fact he could have become a UFA and thus had the choice to be a Senator or not. I won't vote for Wideman at any point in these.

Well Prince too. And Robinson.

Don't think those two guys are as NHL ready AND will have the kind of impact the 3 guys I mentioned will. Prince is pretty close to NHL ready though, same with Robinson, could even say McCormick.

Don't see why prince couldn't have an impact. I also don't really see what differentiates him from puempel right now

Puempel is a pure goal scorer and can play with a little edge. Prince still has a lot to prove in my eyes.

I would agree with this. Puempel seems like a bit of a sniper. Where as Prince will score by getting involved with the play and more. They both score goals but they are different. We don't know yet though. They might end up being just as productive goal wise but puemp will have the sexy goals.
