We're about ready to rework our top twenty-five prospect list [found on the front page on the left sidebar] and in doing so, the staff here at The Copper & Blue would like your take on who we should crown #1. We've come to a consensus that eight players have seperated themselves from the pack and could be in the running for the number one slot. Below the jump are the stats for each candidate using the outstanding work of Gabriel Desjardins and his NHL Equivalency models. Vote for the prospect you see as the brightest light in the system and tell us why you voted that way in the comments.
Presented to you without bias and in alphabetical order, the contestants:
Teemu Hartikainen
#35 / Left Wing / KalPa
6-1
201
May 3, 1990
Round 6, 2008 #163 overall
Wasama Trophy Winner, 2008-2009

That picture of Riley Nash is appalling. I also can’t believe that the consensus is Eberle is a better prospect than MPS.
MPS has never scored a big goal in his life!
And, on a serious note, a goal-per-game pace on the crummy Regina Pats is nothing to sneeze at.

Besides, at 47% Eberle, 45% Magnus PoS, there’s no real consensus at all!

The real consensus is that Oilers have two solid prospects and a whole bunch of question marks.

You believe it, but you’re just grumbling right? This is the new hockey jebus, for goodness sake.

It’s great that Härski has a vote, and it’s not from me.

and it’s not from me.
I don’t believe that for a second.

Now he’s got two! Neither of them are from me.

As soon as I saw two votes I assumed you were married.

Teemu presumably has a mom and pop. I wouldn’t be surprised if they are ardent C&B readers.

I’m telling you, neither one of those are me.

Pierre says that the Magnus would be an elite first liner in the NHL RIGHT NOW and that he would be the Oilers’ best forward RIGHT NOW.
Who am I to argue with Pierre and his level headed stances, always presented in an understated and subtle manner.
Reading between the lines I think that while Lander may be a MONSTER and Eberle is CLUTCH BABY CLUTCH I think that MPS’ STRONG MUSCULAR THIGHS will carry the day going forward.
Here, Let me help
Magnus Paajarvi
Jordan Eberle
Jeff Petry
Theo Peckham
