Exactly. Being one of the most inconsistent college defenseman and a decent playoff AHL run mean nothing to me.

HollyG said:As always, fans of a team tend to forget that there are 30 teams in the league. With a list of only 50 prospects, on average every team will have 1.67 players on the list. So what this means is that you even have two players, you're doing better than most. Keep this simple fact in mind.

but that's just me
Ovechkin, Lehtonen, Zherdev, Phaneuf, MA Fluery is my top 5.KallioWeHardlyKnewYe said:As a Jackets fan, I'm sure Zherdev will be on the list (maybe at #1?) .

DeathFromAbove said:If a single team has two prospects on the list, they should be ecstatic. If they have three, they should be going freakin' bonkers! Anyone who is suggesting 4 or 5 prospects from a single team needs to get back in touch with reality (with the except of maybe Washington).
Ohh god... top 10 now probably.Jay Thompson said:For the Canucks, any of King, Auld, or Kesler have a shot at being on the list.
Moskau said:"King's, last name... says it all, said Jay Thompson after Hockeys Future released their new Top 50 Prospect Ranking which shocked many. I had to convince all of my co-workers with vachon cakes, but I feel satisfied that the Canucks have the top prospect in the NHL."

Captain Conservative said:Jason King is a good prospect, but he would barely crack my top 100 prospects, much less my top 50.
Jay Thompson said:King currently leads the AHL in goals and points though, don't forget. He's having a heck of a start, and he seems to have taken the AHL very seriously. Coach Randy Carlyle said he was in 'elite' conditioning when he came into camp, and he has not yet shown a slowdown in play. Consistancy will be a key for King this year in the AHL though.
MrMastodonFarm said:If one team gets more then 2 prospects on the top 50 list they should be very happy. To suggest 3 or 4, especially a team as thin as the Canucks is laughable.
The Flames are going to have one guy, Dion Phaneuf. Maybe two if Chuko slips into the 45-50 spot.
Chaos said:And by the same note, Jussi Jokinen is currently tied for the lead in goals in the SM-Liiga, is 5th in points(4 off the leader), and plays on his teams 3rd line....and he's 2 years younger than King. We could go all day with numbers.
Vlad The Impaler said:And Jussi Jokinen is indeed a very good prospect who, for some reason, doesn't get enough respect, IMO.
But that doesn't have much to do with King. What's with the dismissing of King on this thread anyway? I don't understand. One guy says he has him barely in his top 100? I'd like to see that. King is firmly among the top 100 best prospects in the game, not barely.

Well, I think Chucko has a bigger upside then Ramholt but I see your point. If either crack the top 50 it would be a pleasent suprise.Roughneck said:I'd say Ramholt would have a batter shot than Chucko IMO (Kris is too much of a wait and see at this point). I'd be estatic if either cracked the top 50.
