Early guesses for 2015-16 Cup /99 RPA'S???

[KingKuba]

Looks pretty obvious besides what happens with Eichel since this class lacks depth.

McDavid....obvious
Max Domi
Larkin
Sam Bennett Calgary so yeah
Ehlers...most likely since Canadian team
Panarin

There you go...6 as it is...

Hanfin Carolina...D-man no chance
Parayako ...D-man in St louis no chance
Lindberg... old and no care

No one else even in consideration.

/249 rpa's checklist will look even worst than last year...

I can't picture any other 6 unless they do an Eichel /99 with a patch...

Am I missing anyone

I wouldn't be surprised if they put Zach Fucale as one of the /99's. I know, I know, he didn't actually play a game during his stint in Montreal. But a) Habs sell, and b) the kid has some hype behind him. Given that they didn't announce Condon as the Canadiens Artifacts rookie redemption despite him being the de facto #1 Habs goalie for the past month and a half, and gave it to Fucale almost immediately, might be a sign. Plus Fucale's done the Rookie Photoshoot Event and they've got all the gear for him.

I'm wondering if we will see an Eichel RC /99 with just a patch and no auto

[flemingc04]

Here's my guess of 6.

McDavid
Eichel
Domi
Larkin
Panarin
McCann (more likely than Virtanen IMO)

/249 rpa's checklist will look even worst than last year...

I'd say this year will have a very strong crop of names...
Hanifin
Petan
McCann / Virtanen
Janmark
Hellebuyck
Fabbri
Lindberg
M. Subban
Parayko
Sprong
McCarron (called up, could debut tomorrow)
Faksa
Shinkaruk
Fucale

Surely I'm missing a few other good names too. They may not all be huge household names now but anyone who has either paid attention to the rookies this year or followed players in their junior careers would know these guys have great potential.

Not sure they will be better than last year.

Draisaitl, Kuznetsov, Vasilevskiy, Duclair, Lehtera, Pastrnak, Klingberg, Hammond, Pulkkinnen, Nurse...

[slev]

why might they not do Eichel with a patch ?

No auto since he can't sign for UD.

I think Kuba's list is the most probable. Fleming's list is missing Bennett.

I think the top 4 here is a lock. Bennett should be a lock, but I'm a Flames homer, so there's that.

I can see Ehlers being replaced by another rookie if they tear it up in points.

McDavid
Max Domi
Larkin
Panarin
Sam Bennett
Ehlers -
