going with Thomas. I know i'll be the only guy to vote for him, but im very very high on Thomas. kid has everything you need to be a damn good NHLer except for size. can he overcome it? who knows, but everything else is there.
Going with Miller--thinking he'll crack the top 6 in years to come where Dylan will most likely make it as a 4 D-man.Prospects all over these polls--sure is a different approach to the old days--but I believe a much better approach.
Fogarty is a big strong center with offensive upside in the same mold as a Travis Zajac.
Will need to show in College that he's an offensive contributor to justify his addition, but I think that that is more a matter of when, rather than if.
I think Miller is highly overrated on this board, but I'll be more than happy to eat crow in the future when it comes to JT.
Voted McIlrath, add Yogan
I agree. I don't understand the love affair with Miller other than that we have an increasingly shorter list of prospects, so middling prospects are suddenly getting pumped up.
Miller will be somewhere in the Anisimov-Dubinsky range (in terms of ability, not necessarily style). He will be a nice two-way player who will be a second liner in his good years, a third liner in his bad years and a tweener most years. And thats assuming he develops properly. There is a high probability that he will be just another run-of-the-mill bottom-6 player.

Ironically, it'd be awesome if Miller can fill the 3rd line center duties this season, lol. We won't be asking him to center the top two lines.
I don't really know anything about any of the prospects, so can someone tell me why J.T. Miller is so much more highly regarded than Christian Thomas? I mean, Thomas had 99 points this year.

im honestly not really sure. I like JT Miller, but CT has the entire package to be an offensive machine in the NHL.....except for size. Most ppl think smaller players just have no chance to make the NHL. who knows....CT has elite offensive instincts though, and an elite shot.

Miller has a lower upside but he is a better shot at making it at the next level. Lack of size is a concern for Thomas. No denying the talent however.
I think Miller can be a solid 2nd liner/very good 3rd liner.
