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.

Gotta go with Kantor. Everyone on the list has no more than a 4th line/3rd pair potential, but he's the only one with a solid chance to make it.

Add Beach because he's the only one who's not in the ECHL.

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

Kantor. Add Nicholls.

I highly question how Kristo is our #7 ranked prospect. Buch at #11?

People vote based on hype. Have no idea what these prospects actually look like.

Kristo is in our top 3. Buch top 5 and pushing for top 3 once Kreider, Miller, and Talbot no longer are considered prospects.

McIlrath shouldn't be in the top 5 and I love him. He has a long way to go. One day maybe he'll realize his potential of being someone like Douglas Murray but he's still 3-4 years away from that.

100% agree with what you said about Kristo, can't say the same about Buchnevich but I've never seen him play...

 

[FoxysExpensiveNYDigs]

Went Bourque. He'll likely never make the show but he's a decent AHL vet. Add Nicholls.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Fogarty. He still has a lot of potential. Add Beach

You are going purely on the player's ceiling, not the odds he'll reach it. Kristo has great potential, but whether he'll reach it is a big question mark. Lindberg may have lesser potential, but he's a near-certainty to become an NHL player.

Buchnevich gets more hype around here than Skjei, who a lot of people criticize. So I'm not buying the hype thing.

I don't see it with Kristo. The talent is there, but not in a consistent way. He's a dynamo on the PP, but I don't see a whole lot at even strength. He's not close to JT Miller, for instance.

I disagree that McIlrath is that far from making an impact. I think he's a year or two away. He's still raw, but has improved by leaps and bounds already. One to two years, by the way, is about where I see Kristo in terms of becoming an impact player.

This isn't an exact science. Everyone ranks the guys differently. It's not really fair though to make a blanket statement that people don't know the players and are just buying into hype. I watch the prospects more than most, and I don't have major problems with the list. I'd move a couple guys up or down a little bit, but nothing too drastic.

Voted Bourque. Add Nicholls. (and finally, I'm not the only one asking for him to be added) He scored 110 goals in 3 years in the WHL when he was 20 and younger. He got 4 games in Hartford and now is in the ECHL. Not putting up the numbers I was hoping to see, but I'm holding out hope.

 

[Net Front Presence]

Bourque. Add Beach.

 

[a tribe cq]

Kantor no question imo. Kantor has a legit chance of being a scrappy, POS, annoying 4th liner in the NHL. He's a NYC boy who would be an absolute favorite with the big club.

Add Nicholls.

 

[Radek27]

Bourque add Beach
