As some of y'all know, I maintain my own lists of prospects for each year I've participated in. Here's mine for this year: 2022
I went ahead and added Honorable Mentions after the fact, after allowing myself to have more than the usual four because I couldn't bring myself to pick two of them to leave out.

And here's all the past years:
2021
2020
2019
2018
2017
2016
2015
(2014 was infamously skipped in protest)

Players on the list since Jarmo took over in 2013 who have since solidified themselves as NHLers in some compacity. I'm sure I missed or mislabeled one or two.

*Dansk literally just got a NHL contract this season, so I would imagine he technically qualifies.
*I wouldnt quite say Emil has solidified himself yet, but it also feels wrong to leave him off.

You can see from our 2018, 2019 and 2020 lists that we’ve come a long way

We're really good with recency bias. Specifically, overvaluing our current year's draft picks.

I think CBJW meant the organization has comew a long way with its prospect pool and not that posters have come a long way in the quality of our voting.

WTF Vitaly Abramov was once our #1 prospect………..
To be fair, most of us thought he was pretty high up there at the time. You yourself had him at #2:
Personally I do not feel any of our prospects have the chance to be elite players. That is fine, as I think many of them will become role players. I lost my voting privileges I think but I think my top 3 would be:

Foudy
Abramov
Gavrikov

As far as who is the “safest” bet that they are at least something in the NHL I would say Gavrikov, Foudy, then Abramov.

I really like Abramov but his size scares me, I also think to be that small an effective you must be fast. He is not.
