Elite Prospects Top 100 Affiliated Prospect Skaters

[MNRube]

Nikishin & Yurov criminally underrated here. When you put up big #s in the KHL as a prospect, that should be a very clear sign

 

[WarriorofTime]

A disguisting 24th, up from 33rd place last year

They've always had it out for Russian prospects on that site. They screeched like banshees when Mukhamadullin went 1st round (it's on their live stream of that particular draft) and write think pieces about the "decline of Russian hockey" when more players from Russia and Belarus are being drafted highly than ever before.

Honestly, I never take these things too seriously, but I was wondering why Miroshnichenko wasn't on their list at all.

 

[ViD]

I would take Nikishin over 99% of the d men on the list

His last year’s 33rd spot is even more shocking

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Where is Nikishin ranked?

Im not even a Canes fan but in all prospect rankings he's always the guy I look for to see how accurate the rankings are lol

He's way too low.


Also, no idea what Nazar is 13th.

 

[Xirik]

Little shocking to see Seamus casey on the list at all. Only 6 points behind Hutson this year and the same height. Lots of the defenseman later in the ranking have worse stats and are only taller then Casey.


Arseni Gritsyuk Had another great year and had more points in the KHL which is a professional men's league then a lot of the players in the NCAA, CHL, Euro league on this list. probably a Russian thing.


Still wondering if anyone can share the Honorable mentioned players.

Anyone know where the 2 Canucks prospects are on the list?

 

[Mrfenn92]

He's an ok prospect, but he has lost a big development year with his injury, was the 6th best scorer on a stacked Michigan team behind guys like Brindley, Duke, Hughes...

Add to that he's on the small side, projects like a winger and that I don't see a safe bottom 6 floor for him like I see for a guy like McGroarty (that outproduced him big time while playing playoffs style hockey and being team USA captain at the U20s), who played on the same team as him and was drafted on the same year.

You'd pick Nazar over the guys I listed? No way he is a top 15 prospect in all hockey.

Yes he did lose a freshman year with a hip injury and played his sophomore year centering the second line and second power play without the benefit of being with Rutger or Gavin and averaged a point per game.
Yes he is smaller but lined up at center all year long on a top team. Centered on pk.
Rutger being a captain is cool but is that held against every player that’s not the captain on a U20 team?
As far as taking him above the others you mentioned I’m a big fan of his. Prospect lists like this are a bit funny to me because it’s just opinion based. Your meh on him and others are yeh on him.

Two prospects?!? Aren't you feeling optimistic.

JL is 43 and Willander is 60.

 

[Pavels Dog]

Weird list. It’s far too generous to the 2024 draft (according to this list it should pan out as the best draft of all time to warrant these rankings), and just seems a bit random. Danielson as the 4th best Wings prospect when he’s widely regarded as our #1? Reinbacher moving up significantly after a pretty brutal season? Iginla as the 9th best prospect in all of hockey? Nikishin behind Dickinson and others? The top swedish juniors Pellikka/Lekkerimäki way down in 37th/43rd?
Just seems like they wrote down names in the order they remembered them and forgot to actually rank them.

 

[OKR]

Feels weird seeing so many 2024 prospects ranked so high, when the initial consensus was that the draft class is rather mediocre and plenty of the picks from last few drafts before it had very good years.

 

[Haatley]

Nice to see Parekh getting the respect he deserves.

 

[saska sault]

Wonder how they viewed the Red Wings guy... *hint* .. help...

 

[Forsbergaura21]

Anyone have a link to their top 15 goalie list that is visible without the paywall?


Thanks!

 

[Snubbed4Vezina]

Theo Lindstein not even getting at least an 'Honorable Mention' after his performance at the WJC is crazy to me. He deserves to be in the Top 100.

For all the hype about the 2023 draft class, the recency bias for the 2024 class flooded this list.

 

[wetcoast]

Two prospects?!? Aren't you feeling optimistic.

JL is 43 and Willander is 60.

These 2 should be both top 50 and personally I have Willander ahead of JL but after that our pool really thins out in position players.

 

[stl76]

Sooner than later people are going to wake up and realize they have been severely underrating Theo Lindstein. Him not even being an honorable mention on this list is a glaring omission.

35. Brandsegg-Nygard
37. Sandin Pelikka
47. Kasper
50. Danielson
81. S. Buium

 

[LemonSauceD]

Such a weird list. I want to like it, but good god some choices are brutal imo.

 

[Sam de Mtl]

Oh no. EP didn't rank everyone according to the fanbase's consensus.

How dare they have preferences?

 

[Soundgarden]

Wood over Kemell and L'Heureux and no Molendyk is certainly a choice, regarding Predator prospects.

Thanks, clearly not high on Detroit kids.

 

[2014nyr]

Nice to see Parekh getting the respect he deserves.

jiminy cricket...not every day you come across a project stargate alum

 

[HisIceness]

I'm not here to argue the merits of this list. I'm here because it appears all 32 teams have at least one prospect on the list. I'm damn proud of all 32 teams!

Good job staffs! Keep up the good work

 

[Dion TheFluff]

Leafs too high, Habs too low (except Demidov).



But like, actually....

what Leafs are on the list?
