Welcome buddies.
I ranked the 50 best under-23 (Non-inclusive.), under 25 games affiliated prospects for another year.
As usual, I do no goaltenders because it is just too much work to analyze goaltenders, especially because they play a lot, there's a lot of them and they're often hidden in random leagues. I'd be happy to provide a list for anyone who cares but yeah, thats it.
Here's a post I made in 2019 that still describes my views on prospects:

MrB1P's top 50 NHL affiliated prospects
I ranked the 50 best under-23 (Non-inclusive.), under 25 games affiliated prospects for another year.

Here's a post I made in 2019 that still describes my views on prospects:
Mostly a complete offense and a willingness to be the man on the offense. I'm also a fan of physicality and aggressiveness in a player. NHL readiness isn't really something I value too highly, but it is certainly a factor in this ranking as the first five should all be in the NHL this year. Another thing I value highly is intelligence. If a player showcases a good level of on-ice IQ, he's most likely a favorite of mine. I tend to overlook defensive problems as these usually are either overblown or they sort themselves out.
What could bring a player down ?
Perimeter play. This is the biggest culprit.
Lack of a shot.
Lack of speed, or a tendency to float.
This is my list, and my list only, it has not been influenced by any other media list around, which is why it might look a bit different than most.
