CBJ Board Summer '14 Prospect Rankings: #9

[WannabeFinn]

I didn't realize after Dansk and Heatherington go how deep of a drop off our prospects get

It's like that for every team after the top 10 prospects or so, unless you're the Sabres..

Naturally, of course, we see drop offs in different places.

I see one now after Forsberg, and then I see another drop off after the next group of Heatherington, Collins, Siebenaler, Zaar, Hjalmarsson and Merzlikins. For me Chaput and Dansk are in the next group down.

I'm aware, but I think its pretty big drop. I see almost all of our top 10 playing in the NHL and being good players, but after the 2 I mentioned it's alot less certain.

maybe it's semantics but I don't see it as necessarily a drop but significant increase in questions or ability to fill potential. Guys like Zaar have top 6 potential and skills but haven't put it all together yet, for example. What I see is fewer expected 4th line stereotypes and higher risk/ceiling.
