Prospect Info: '24-'25 Prospects Thread: Generation Z

this post otoh is the opposite of bringing receipts

It's really easy for nobodies on Twitter to criticize respected voices.

I'm not a big fan of Pronman's, but he's doing an exercise on 139 prospects.

Nitpicking the difference between "elite" and "high-end" is told dork level stuff from somebody who thinks their work is better.

All I learned from this is this Pronman character is not someone I should concern myself with.

He is who he is.

At least he isn't Craig Button.

Pronman hustles and gets to rinks in person. Never have taken him for a box score watcher.

The flaws are both in the model- as no single person can cover every player so how tf can they rank them? The way the Athletic does it is dumb. Wheeler should cover an area of NA, Pronman another, and then a Euro guy.

Other flaw- grading system. It always contradicts what he writes and never has made sense, even when he was doing number grades.

He is good at describing play styles and strengths/weaknesses/concerns/upside and who is playing well. His grading system and tiers are always junk but whatever.

If you’re actually worried about if he rated a prospect he just raved about in the written blurb high-end instead of elite because you think there’s no way he’s worse than Connor McConnor you are the problem lmao.
