When the poll is up I will be going with Marinicin narrowly over Harty. Teemu seems like a very sure thing, but Marincin projects to make a great impact in my opinion.
I am curious as to what some of you use to rate the prospects. We have a wide range of opinions as to who is what number obviously, but how do we get to those opinions?
I personally rate players based on what I believe they will become, and that includes many variables. Their top-end potential, low-end potential, probablity of reaching that potential.....
The reason I ask is that I think a majority of people on this board see the potential of Marincin to be a top-pairing d-man, and most see Teubert as a bottom pairing d-man(including the Oilers brass), but somehow Teubert is getting votes ahead of Marincin.
I am not saying this is wrong, because some might weight heavily on how close the prospect is to getting to their potential.....just curious as to what posters are using when rating our prospects.

I'm just going off of what the player likely will become and if there's a good chance he could bust. Therefore a guy like Petry who has top pairing potential and should at the worst be a 3/4 guy would get my vote over a guy like Klefbom who has a bit more potential, but could very well bust

I'd say it is a risk vs reward kind of thing. One player might have a higher upside but the chances of reaching that upside may be lower. I project how useful the player will be long time. Marincin could be great but I feel that Hamilton will for sure be a decent player in this league for a while.
very close between marincin/pitlick/hamilton/harty...
of the group i think pitlick is the prospect with the highest upside though, marincin probably a close second, those four should fill the next slots, maybe bunz could be in there too...
I'm voting in terms of upside, so for me it's Marincin.
If I were going with readiness it would be Harski, and if I went with most likely to reach top 2 line forward / top 4 pairing defenceman it would be Pitlick.
