Dune or Bunting for me…
gun to my head I take chance on bunting due to possibility of linemates
Another who's my last keeper thread!! Who do you like?
Texier
Dube
Bunting
Patrick
Terry
Ruotsalainen
I'm leaning toward Terry but the others do have some merit. Scoring CATS in Sig.

Texier for me. Maybe good linemates, maybe not. Should have a role for certain. Good for some hits.
I think I would go with Dube or Terry. Dube had the advantage last season with slightly better stats, he threw the most hits out of those 3 and he actually saw some pp time, albeit a minimal amount. That's better than nothing though.
I like the potential for Terry to play with some better linemates but theres no guarantee there. I see him listed as C, where he has to compete with Zegras, Getzlaf, and Steel, and LW where he has to compete with Rakell and Volkov. Could be a lot of shuffling going on there.
Dube is the guy for me.

Appreciate everyone's input so far and the replies certainly highlight my problem. So far, we have "votes" for everyone but Ruotsalainen. I guess we need more "votes" (:

I'd go Patrick or Terry in that order based of upside alone. Swing for the fences when you have to choose between those names you gave us.

Is that supposed to be Ristolainen with Flyers or Ruotsalainen with Sabres? Wasn't sure, didn't think Ruotsalainen would be comparable to those other guys right now, but Ristolainen would. With Dhalin, Jokiharju and eventually Powers, definitely wouldn't consider Ruotsalaenen.
I am really not as high on Terry as others I guess. He won't provide much in peripherals and isn't even guaranteed for points. I think the Ducks have much better wing prospects who are going to take his place sooner or later, possibly sooner. Comtois I think is going to be on Zegras LW. I would think Rakell would be their RW, with Terry having a lesser shot. Even if he does score, the peripherals won't be great and his ceiling is, meh.
I would go with Dube. I think he has one of the higher point potentials and he also provides a lot of hits. He might be a bit more of a risk than a couple of those other guys, but for me it'd be worth it.
Texier is a nice player, but he doesn't have the overall upside of Dube IMO.
Nolan Patrick... tough one. But I definitely would not consider him right now in a league without FOW. That really limits his value even if he turns things around. I am not very high on him anymore anyway. He hasn't really shown the progression you want to see out of a prospect like him. Sure, he may have new life in Vegas, but I think the chances of him actually stepping up, taking advantage of that, while staying healthy, is fairly low. He might be a bigger risk/reward than Dube, but IMO, too big a risk. Plus, he's a center, which are usually much easier to come by and won't provide much in the way of peripherals. Especially without FOW cat.
So for me, it's definitely Dube.

Dube and Terry are the names that stood out for me.
