VOTE - Ottawa Senators Top Prospects: #5 (2015)

1. Nick Paul (64%)
2. Matt Puempel (82%)
3. Mikael Wikstrand (44%)
4. Colin White (40%)

Chabot. Let's move along

Matt O'Connor, he's going to be in the NHL in the short future, he's pegged as the goalie of the future, he's top 5 in my mind and was #4 for me so he's getting my vote each time.

Between a few guys for me. O'Connor's upside is huge, guess I'll go for him.

eh?

I pray we have a winner and not a tie

I stuck with Prince, though starting to read and see more about Chabot and I like what I'm seeing.

It's a toss up for me between Prince, Chanot, and O'Connor.

What? His potential is massive. A lot of people talking about him lately especially after the rookie camp.

Wen with O'Connor just to perplex Ev a little more

Seriously, though, the team is looking at him to be pushing for the #1 in two years. When Andy gets his annual weird injury we may well see him in town.

upside massive or expectations becoming massive? I think the later. I'll admit that he's jumped the cue in terms of our goaltending prospects but he hasn't played a single pro game yet.

Most prospects haven't played a pro game yet though. Initial forecasts on O'Connor from people seeing him vs our other prospects have been glowing. This is a big reason they traded Lehner, they know they have a big time goaltending prospect on their hands.

Yes and il a lit le cautious about certain player. That's why I would of had Prince ranked higher than white personally. The only prospect that I would of had up there right before Prince and puempel now that hasn't played the pro game is Chabot and that's because of some of the stuff I've read that has him as a top 4 Dman for sure.

When I hear massive upside I think CezinaTrophy trophy winner.

I think Oconnor will be an NHL goalie with the potential to start but I'll have to see him against Pros to judge his upside. He looks good and polished against kids which is good.

Oh...I didn't mean Vezina candidate, although no one knows I guess, just that he looks like he's somewhere in the top 10 goalie prospects and looks amazing thus far.

Exactly! College is one thing and I think you have to remember that not many I drafted college FA actually have a huge impact. Goalies are late bloomers often but you really want to see them play at the next level.
