2) Scott Perunovich - 76.9%
3) Klim Kostin - 57.9%
4) Niko Mikkola - 42.9%
5) Jake Neighbours - 61.1%
6) Nikita Alexandrov - 48.6%
7) Joel Hofer - 69.4%

10) Dylan Peterson - 44.8%
11) Keean Washkurak - 29%
12) Austin Poganski - 36.7%

Austin Poganski takes the number 12 spot. The heavy and explosive player that he is could find his way into the bottom-6 of an NHL team in due time. He has had two good campaigns in the AHL. With any injuries for the main roster, he should be among the first call-ups for the Blues.

Let's go to number 13!

Walman has take deep downfall. He's next Vannelli?

Still going for McGing!

Loof pretty easily for me

I went with Colton Ellis. It was toss up between him and Loof

Ellis is certainly deserving, talent-wise - I just rank goalies differently.

At this point, I doubt anyone left on the list will make the NHL. I went with Ellis. Goalies are voodoo, but I think he has the best chance of anyone on the remainder of the list.

I agree that the prospects left are a lot harder to predict, but some could still have NHL-potential, albeit the chance is low. For example, Tampa Bay's Cirelli wasn't actually destroying the CHL either but still turned out to be a good NHL top 6 forward. Laferriere's numbers aren't a lot worse than his, so who knows. You can put McGing, Walman, Ellis and Zherenko in the same category as Laferriere: players who still have a small chance to develop into an NHL-er.
Lööf, Kessel, Dickinson and Cranley are mostly unknowns, so could be anything from trash to a potential steal. As I said in another topic, Kessel is off to a good start with UMass while I'm anxious to see how Dickinson does with the added weight.
