Button is always unique in his lists I wouldn't put too much into it.

Jost ahead of PLD, Barzal and Theodore is very interesting to me, maybe he's trying to make up for Rantanen last year..?

 

[Coach Parker]

From what everyone outside of Boston is telling us, the Bruins don't have many A prospects but a ton of B+ or B prospects that could pan out. No surprise here.

For entertainment purpose I love these lists... pick up the hockey news future watch every year

I was even lucky enough to be invited to participate in hockey futures own list a couple times in the late 1990s

I learnt I'm no more accurate than the people who do the hockey news and they are no more accurate than Craig button and he's no more accurate than I am.

Sorry, but reality is that around 50% of a list like this will never amount to anything... and there will be numerous people not on this list that become good nhl pros.

Take these lists as a source of entertainment if you wish but it's impossible to be any better than 50% when analyzing prospects

I dunno... you could make a pretty compelling case that Frederic is having better years than either Jost or Kunin.

A bit of recency bias, but there always is when lists come out like this.

Could definitely see why Sam Steel and Jake Walman are in there. Would think one of Senyshyn or Bjork should be on there though.

Senyshyn is 50th.
