Tough call between Donovan and Nelson for me, but I went with Donovan as he is more polished.

Add Rakhshani

[InformTheMasses]

Donovan (AGAIN)

Add Ullstrom

[Doug Height]

Goin' with my boy Matty Donovan again.

Add Ullstrom.

[islandersfreak21]

[hskates21*]

Kabanov add ullstrom

[CodeE]

Kabanov, add Rakhshani

[Renbarg]

Lee add ullstrom

[Le Golie]

It is quite easily Nelson at this point, he should have been #5 by a pretty significant margin actually, though most don't realize it for some reason.

I don't expect the masses here to vote him any higher than 9-10, which is downright shameful .

[JKP]

Kabanov... Add Rak

[ledzep1212]

Anders Lee, add Ullstrom

[letsgoisles89]

Nelson, add Ullstrom

[periferal]

Still going with Petrov as I think he's a cannon waiting to explode once he comes to NA. That said, totally understand the votes for Donovan.

Now how anyone is voting for Kabanov right now is total FAIL.


Add Ullstrom.

[Kevin27NYI]

Donovan, add Rhett.

I'll admit that Comeau wasn't higher was a problem. Even then he showed the speed and strength to be an NHL-er. But, at the time, there were legitimate questions about whether Nielsen would be able to withstand the physical play of the NHL. Actually, there are still questions about it. Is there anyone hear that doesn't worry that, for all his positional smarts and intelligence, that just one hit could put Frans on the shelf? He's absolutely shown the ability to be effective without creating contact. But he's also the kind of player that really needs to avoid contact.

I, for one, think that Nielsen chugs a gallon of gatorade before getting weighed. He sure is heck doesn't look almost 190 lbs.

Cheers,

Dan-o

PS Donovan.

[Strummergas]

Donovan, add Katic.
