I'll start...

Salomonsson
Yager
Lambert
Chibrikov
He
Walton
Freij
Barlow
Lucius
Divincentiis
As someone who follows prospects only by the general sentiment on these boards that is lower than I expected to see Lucius. Has it been evident in his recent play that he has missed major development time, or is it mostly because there straight up hasn't been recent play, so it is likely to impact his final development?

Mainly just uncertainty about his future health. If I knew he would recover fully and be a healthy player going forward he'd probably be in my top 5.

I might slide DD ahead of Barlow and Chaz, but otherwise I think you nailed it
I can see that. I just have a hard time ranking most goalies very highly as prospects because they are unpredictable and the value of an NHL back-up is relatively low.

Ok, how about the next ten?
Julien
Nering
Kuzmin
Zhilkin
Loponen
Levis

OK, well thats only six, who of these has the most potential to pop into the top ten? Any others to add? And dont say wagner.
Zhilkin definitely tops that list for me. Beyond that it's all a new tier of crapshoot.

Barlow probably deserves the demotion but I also think he could jump back up. I wonder if a 4th OHL season is a bit like spinning wheels for him.
I got some heat for it, but I think his trajectory is basically AHL at this point. I'm sure he is a great kid. Just leveled out earlier than any of us thought he would.

I could be wrong. Just don't see any impact NHL potential any longer. Never say never I guess.

I have a feeling that his game will translate to the pros better than we think it will

If someone just watched stats in junior after a player was drafted, then Nic Petan would have been a sure bet. But he put up points in junior in a way that doesn't translate to the NHL

Barlow's offensive skills aren't in question... it's a matter of whether he can play with pace and develop the defensive side of his game

I look at him and I hope for "a more engaged Tyler Toffoli"

I think his shot is not in question. Or even his work ethic. But the rest of his game absolutely is in question.

Toffoli had a better pts/game than Barlow and then had a couple consecutive 100 point seasons in junior to follow that up. Barlow has basically regressed in points since his draft year.

Maybe Flames/Oilers version of James Neal is more realistic. A great shot with grit capable if getting good hot for stretches before his streak ends and all around game kills you.

Still way too much excitement over Lambert here. Potential top 6 F score ppg+ in the AHL.

Salomonsson
Yager
Chibrikov
HE
Walton
Frei
Lambert
DiVincentiis
Barlow
Chaz (moves up a lot if he can stay healthy)
