Off of my own viewings, here's my long awaited top 250 NHL affiliated prospect rankings.

Just like many of you, by this time in the middle of the summer I start itching for anything hockey. I was bored and had some spare time so I decided to put together my list of the top 100 forwards in the league.
My Criteria:
This list is based on the top 100 forwards at this very moment. It...
I told myself it would be unfair to criticize others in their attempts to make a top 50 NHL prospect list if I did not try to do it myself, so there it is! It is based, like for most people here, on my limited viewings of the players online and my incredible ability to statwatch on the...
As of this season, Alexander Ovechkin must score 237 goals in order to better The Great One's all time goalscoring record. In this thread I do some back of the envelope calculations to estimate with what probability that will happen, and plot the results.
Key assumptions: I assume that he will...
This article is compiled with the greatest moments in Toronto’s major sports teams (NHL, NBA, MLB) in the last 30 years. Before beginning, let’s start with a few honourable mentions that didn’t make the cut.

Here are the top-100 NHL prospects today. Top-25 by position below
Criteria: Each player had to be under-25, selected in an NHL draft (or signed by NHL club) and played less than 1/2 season at NHL level.
Positions: Keep in mind that some of the positions change (ie, C to wing, RW to LW). I...
After a long year, it's finally time for my annual draft rankings. In order to avoid a nearly 10,000 word OP, I've included scouting reports for my top 31 on this post and the rest I've done can be viewed at my website at 2019 NHL Draft Final Rankings
I've had at least one viewing of each of...
These are my top 217 rankings. They are my own. I watch a lot of hockey. I read a lot(and I have certain people's opinions that I take into account), but these rankings are from my own observations. This is the order I would draft these guys in without considering need, tendencies, etc. Please...
Hello Ladies and Gentlemen, it is that time of the year where the draft is getting closer which means you can partake on the festival of many draft and mock lists. Here is my annual triple threat consisting of MY 2019 draft list, what players I currently rank for the 2020 draft, and finally my...
This is a standard feature on my site; although this represents the regular season, I had to wait until the Stanley Cup concluded because the power ratings (and therefore the average strengths) change during the playoffs.
These are for the 2018-19 NHL regular season.

PROSPECT RANKING WRITE-UP
1. C Jack HughesU18’s, USNTDP
[5’10”. 170lbs. Born on May 14, 2001.]
He’s the superstar of this year’s draft. No, it’s not Kakko despite what some may tell you. Hughes is still number one. His top end skating ability and smaller frame coupled with his high IQ and...
I was hoping to get this posted a month ago before the swarm of rankings and mock drafts, but couldn't find the time to finish it.
1) Jack Hughes: Difficult decision at #1 this year. I've had Hughes in #1 for longer periods this year, so I've kept him there for the rankings. His...
Final 2019 NHL Mock Draft
1. New Jersey Devils: Jack Hughes
Although Kakko put on quite a show at the worlds, and played remarkable against men this season, the Devils still prefer Hughes to Kakko. Personally, Kakko is my choice and I could very well see Kakko going #1, but New Jersey has been...
It's already June and I still didn't post any pre-draft write-up, let's fix that.
Mood: running out of time.

I realized posting new rankings nearly every month was pointless. I’ve pretty much seen all I’ve needed to see and this list took a while to complete. I may add scouting reports for the top 62 and/or a mock draft later on and I’ll bump the thread if I do. Any questions/thoughts/feedback feel...
With the recent discussion about RFAs and the number of teams that seem to have a need to move players with salary, I wanted to see if it was possible to create a way in which one could estimate the cost to trade a player with negative value or an unwanted contract.
To begin, I decided that all...
5 Underrated Prospects Eligible for the 2019 NHL Draft by Puck’s Prospects
In no particular order...
1. Cole Caufield
Cole Caufield is the most risky pick in this draft. His numbers and stats scream “top 5 pick” but his 5’7, 163 lbs frame scream “don’t take him.” At the U18s he scored 14 goals...
1. NJD
Jack Hughes | The HH duo is the best the franchise has ever had.
2. NYR
Kaapo Kakko | Their run on European's continue. I think he'll be a Center in the league.
3. CHI
Alex Turcotte | Strome and Turcotte is the 1-2 punch down the middle for the next decade.
4. COL via OTT

2019 NHL Mock Draft
1. New Jersey Devils - Jack Hughes
This is a no-brainer. With New Jersey, the are holes everywhere and for them it is about taking the best player available. Hughes is a 5’10, 168 lbs centre who could play on the wing as well. He is a crafty playmaker with an elite skating...
After creating a trade thread for Jonas Brodin I came across some Minnesota fans who explained to me the direction Minnesota’s GM Fenton is likely headed and it had me wondering:
Shouldn’t Minnesota be going into a full rebuild? Well lets take a closer look:
