[GrigsAndGirgs]

Brennan slightly over Cat. Brennan did not show his offense, but looked solid in his callups, wasn't a liability at all. Brennan is pretty much ready for NHL duty.

Add Flynn.

[Rammstein816]

Catanacci, add MacKenzie

[Duddy]

Meow, MattMac

[OcAirlines]

Brennan, add MadMac

[JPurp26]

Catenacci slightly over Kea slightly over Brennan slightly over Ullmark
add Lepkowski again

[Husko]

Kea, he and Brennan are the last two I see as NHL players

You don't think Cat has an NHL future as a bottom 6 role player?

[Fly Boy]

Catenacci add Lieuwen

[Beerz]

Brennan.

[Zman5778]

Catenacci, add MattMac.


Don't get the Brennan love here. He's pretty much shown that he'll max out as a #5 Dman at BEST, given the PT, but is more likely a 6/7 swinger.

Nah, I just don't see it. Basically, I think his ceiling is low (3rd line) and his chance at reaching that ceiling is also pretty low. On the other hand, I think Brennan and Kea have similar ceilings (3rd pairing/3rd line) but have much better chances of reaching those ceilings.

[Jame]

cat

add peterson

[tsujimoto74]

Brennan by a hair over Kea and Cat. Add Lepkowski.

[Chainshot]

Cat again. All that speed can be molded in many ways. Add Lieuwen.

[OpethianSabre20]

Catenacci, add MacKenzie.

[VanekTheMvp]

Dr.Drew S.... Add Adams

I don't see the problem in that, to be honest.


Catenacci + MacKenzie for me

[Woodhouse]

You can't teach pure speed...my vote's for Catenacci, add Lepkowski.
