Nope. I consider him better than Thrower, but whatever. Bournival almost got my vote here, though, with HM to Bozon.

Michael Bournival- Add Nygren

[BlackStar]

Bennett has to be our most underrated prospect, by a wide margin.

[Beendair Donedat]

Darren Dietz

[NoahH57]

Among the remaining forwards, we still have many that have top 9 upside, even a few that still have top 6 upside.

I think Bozon can become a 30-30 player, a great 2nd liner. Patrick Holland had expectations fly through the roof due to his explosive season in Tri-City, but let's be realistic, I see him as a solid 15 goal 35 point 3rd line winger. Vail can become a very effective PK, checking line centre, and Hudon can still shape into a top 6 scorer.
Now, the last player I will mention is Bournival. He has the potential to be a force in the NHL. He could very well become a top 6 forward, but at worse, a good 3rd line forward.

I'd vote for Bournival here, then Bozon next.

Love Dietz, like Bennett a bit more. I'm disappointed he's not getting more votes. Great prospect who I'm sure will cause a surprise in a year or two.

That said, I *love* that we still have a lot of guys with NHL potential left that far down that list!

[sakiaba]

Bournival (just ahead of Bennett), add Hudon. We really are digging a bit deep now.

[Weis]

It looks like a 3rd rounder battle. Im not a fan of Bournival offensive skill and never seen Bozon. I prefer Bennett potential to Bournival but he lack size so I understand the result.

Michael Bournival : round 3 #71 (Colorado, 2010)
Mac Bennett : round 3 #79 (2009)
Tim Bozon : round 3 #64 (2012)

*Montreal didnt have any round 2-3 draftee in 2010 and 2011.

[Sam I Am]

Add Greg Pateryn.

[Hawkguy]

Bournival again. He's in my top-6.

non the less Dumont is actually pretty good in NHL12. I had him on my 3rd line her put up 21 goals and 17 assists. Doesn't mean anything though lol.

For me its Bournival, then Bozon/Benett, Qualier/Palsuh/Holland

[Habs]

Lebust is right out of my top 6 now.

[QuebecPride]

Bennett

Max Lapierre turned into a 100pt centerman for me in NHL 07.

Yeah.

[Rise from the Ashes]

I can see why Bournival is the consensus here, but Bennett IMO will be a more dynamic player. Bournival will be a good third line center. Bennett could be a top four defender.

[eddy]

Bournival, add Pateryn.

That's how I feel as well, but you can't fault people here for loving Bournival, the guy has a nice resume in juniors.

He captained the Memorial Cup champions, played a defensive role in the WJC and did well, had some good seasons in the QMJHL...

Man it's going to be an exciting season in Hamilton!
