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.

Voted for Hughes because he had a strong AHL rookie season.

Add Nanne because he was just recently drafted in the fifth round.

 

[nyr2k2]

Add Fogarty.

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

McCarthy again. Add Donnay, because he's another guy who took a step forward last year according to reports.

 

[eco's bones]

McCarthy. Fogarty.

 

[Zil]

McCarthy, add Nanne.

 

[bernmeister]

Voted for Hughes because he had a strong AHL rookie season.

Add Nanne because he was just recently drafted in the fifth round.

While respecting this^ (thanks for reminder) went with Noreau, who has paid more dues, and also has upside.

Like BrooklynRangersFan said, "Add Donnay, because he's another guy who took a step forward last year according to reports."

In case opportunity escapes later, want to take this opportunity to thank Beacon for such a great job running this pp. Sorry I have not had more time to contribute more. Will endeavor to be better about it in future.

 

[Joey Bones]

McCarthy add Fogarty

 

[mti79]

Voted for Mantha. Add Nicholls. He has scored at every level. Didn't have the greatest year last year but I'm hopeful he can produce in Hartford this year.

[Beer League Sniper]

Once again....

Noreau, add Fogarty.

 

[Net Front Presence]

Mantha. Add Nicholls.

 

[darko]

McCarthy, add Nicholls

 

[cwede]

Mantha, add Fogarty

so interesting the range of opinions here,
looks like the most common agreement is that the bottom 2 will probably be Missiaen (Hasn't earned it, tho he had good ECHL playoff this year) and Kantor (limited upside) .

My bottom 6 (based on the remaining 12, not my full system ranking) would have Noreau(skill?), Yogan(consistency?), Donnay(skating?), and Nanne(size, physical play?), behind D's Mantha, Walcott, Hughes, F's McCarthy, Fogarty, Nicholls, (not in particular order)
but i know it wont fall out that way

its been fun

I don't think Kantor is bottom 2. At the same age and position as Nicholls, he just played in the AHL, while Nicholls was in the ECHL. So what's the justification for adding Nicholls over Kantor. The few games he was in the ECHL, he was a point per game player there.

He also goes ahead of Fogarty because there's no way Foggy could keep up in the AHL now like Kantor has.

Kantor has limited potential, but decent odds of reaching it. He's my next add after Nanne, who has a much lower chance to play in the NHL, but a higher ceiling.
