		<title>Which Prospect Do You Think Has The Best Chance </title>
		<link>http://www.islandermania.com/index.php?showtopic=24773</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Obviously a couple of these propsects are more than likely more than a year away.  However out of these 14, which do you think has the best chance of making the club out of training camp?<br /><br />I have been waiting a couple of weeks to do this poll.  And after talking with IslesChick, agreed that this is the best place for the poll.<br /><br />Before the trade with the Ducks I was 50/50 between Hamonic and Petrov.<br /><br />However with The Wiz signed for a year, and the Isles still not accquiring an addional bonafide top 6 forward this offseason, I really think that Garh & Gordon are going to let Petrov earn a role on the Isles.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Former top swiss talent Luca tries to get back to hockey. <br /><br />After a depressing time in junior leagues, the 2007 3th round pick of TBL make a comeback home in switzerland in the former organization from mark streit, the zsc lions, or better in their farm team, the gck lions.  <br />But the doctors report of mononucleosis put his poor perfomance in a different light. <br /><br />Good luck, Luca!]]></description>

		<title>Two Kirillis And A Nino Walk Into A Bar . . .</title>
		<link>http://www.islandermania.com/index.php?showtopic=24643</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Okay, let's hear it.  I know the difficulties the two Kirills have and are having getting over and sticking with the big boys, but how do their games compare.  Who has the bigger upside?  Who is better right now?  Who uses their body?  How their styles compare and compliment?  Who do we want to see the skating with?<br /><br />Lay it on me, Islandermaniacs.]]></description>
