Rank the Pacific Teams by prospect pool #1

[Bjornar Moxnes]

Hey everyone, I wanted to do a prospect pool ranking for the Pacific Division and want the output of all fanbases. Will keep this on for 24 hours (So it'll end at 7:30PM on June 30th).

For me it's 1. Anaheim 2. Seattle 3. San Jose after that it's pretty meh all around.

I'd put Calgary as #4 since they have strong depth, many pieces can easily play throughout the bottom 6, but not any skater game changers yet sadly.

Are you going to continue this series ?

The irony in this whole prospect pool bit is that Vegas has never had one (or cared about it)....and they won the cup.

That’s actually a very interesting point.

I wonder what type of player we can trade for if we trade our recent two first round picks and our next years first.


Surely a player that would make us a playoff team at least

I don’t see much in Calgary to get excited about. Having said that they have some very interesting trade chips to obtain some high end picks and prospects. I guess we will see if the windbag Craig Conroy is a decent GM in pretty short order. He talks a good days work. It seems everyone wants to jump ship there. Can’t blame them for wanting out and it looks good on that fanbase.

Again they have good depth, but no high end talent minus Wolf. We'll see how the 2023 draft picks progress. I'm high on Morin.

They had the advantage of taking part in the most lopsided expansion draft in the history of the NHL and basically held teams ransom for picks and ready-made top 6 forwards and top 4 defense.

Its not very reasonable to compare them to teams who have been stagnating in the Pacific for decades with poor drafting and development holding them back along with messed-up cap structures.

The Ducks obviously have a good prospect pool, based on where they're at in their cycle. Seattle has a few good ones. But as a whole, the Pacific has a truly staggeringly poor bunch of prospects right now. Too many teams who are all still perpetually in the hunt for a playoff spot and chasing that because that's where the division is currently at. Everyone is basically in some mode of "competing" or "retooling to compete".

Efficient contracts are a heluva drug.
