THE RULES

WHO IS A PROSPECT: http://www.hockeysfuture.com/whatmakesaprospect

HOW TO RANK PROSPECTS: Based on their value in a hypothetical trade or waiver draft. This takes into consideration a prospect's ceiling, how close he's to making it, his health, work ethic, the whole deal. Imagine there was a prospect waiver draft and you could keep only one prospect. That guy is our #1 prospect. Then imagine we had one more waiver protection. That guy is our #2 prospect.

The Butcher makes me very excited and Haggerty is supposed to be close to NHL-ready, but Fast has actually proven himself to be a borderline player last season and he'll likely crack the NHL next year. He has very solid potential as a middle-6 player.

Add Halverson because he's a second round draft selection just days ago, and I don't believe the remaining players would fetch us back a second round pick.
 
Buchnevich, add Iverson (I have no conviction on this pick whatsoever but he seems as good an add as any on the list).
 
Buchnevich... for his upside. I was very high on Fast, but I think he took a step back last year.

Add Halverson. The second rounder has more value than any of the remaining prospects. Our lack of depth is starting to show early in this poll.
 
Buchnevich, add Iverson (I have no conviction on this pick whatsoever but he seems as good an add as any on the list).

I realize you said you had no conviction on this pick, but why would you add the third rounder instead of the second rounder we took just a few days ago? Both are a long ways away. I guess you didn't like the Halverson selection...
 
What's your opinion on his upside? Is there offense to his game?

A good amount of offense actually. IMO he needs to get to know the NA style of the game and maybe learn not to do cheap hitting and I think you have a quality NHL player in our midst. We'll see. Low risk signing with a high reward.

Edit: He also scored a goal in today's scrimmage in the prospects camp, assited by Buchnevich.
