I haven't even read this yet and already can't hate it... 250 is a lot of guys to cover.

Thoughts on Victor Olofsson?
Most Sabres fans would have him higher than quite a few of ours listed

He was meant to be 189, not Jacob Olofsson, thanks for the comment.
I am a big fan of Olofsson, I think he'll destroy this year, I guess just the age played a part in my decision, although admittedly a touch low based on his scoring touch and how well he has transitioned so far.
Awesome. I think your rating for him is a bit low, he had an amazing D+1 season. He just had shoulder surgery which is very unfortunate timing for his development, but he's someone to keep an eye on.
Overall, well done. 250 is a lot of prospects to rank, for the Wings prospects I'd do a bit of moving, but your list looks good for the most part!

Fair enough for some to be wary until he is more proven, I'm pretty high on him myself. His production this year will be determined by his usage, which I hope is on one of the PP units and glued to any of Eichel (unlikely due to Skinner), Reinhart or Mittelstadt.

Out of curiosity what's your thinking for putting Svechnikov over Hirose?
Think both have a 2nd line forward ceiling, but Svechnikov, I think, gets knocked way down due to his injuries. Obviously he can overcome that, I just think he's a big risk now.

Any reason why you have Colton White on the list for the Devils? What do you see in him that us Devils fans don't? Mostly asking because you have him I believe as the Devils 6th or 7th best prospect while in our board's rankings we are at prospect #13 and he hasn't even been added to the poll yet.
Good question. Something inclined me to put him on the list. I love how smart he plays the game and I feel there's some untapped offensive potential there. The time is running out but I feel like he can make a solid NHL impact.
We haven't seen Svechnikov for a year, but just before he got injured I was very sure he was about to solidify his spot on the team and his skill is undeniable. The top end is just too good to pass up. Great start for Hirose for sure though.

Alexander Chmelevski is way too low, I know his regular season numbers could be better but his WJ and playoff play was some of the best. Also I feel like Zachary Emond should squeeze in that top 15 goalies for sure but goalies are hard to judge I get it.

Fair enough, I'm hoping he overcomes the injuries. Spent the better part of the last two years hurt though, that's rough for a kid's development.
It'll be interesting to see where what kind of team Detroit puts together. I'd assume Hirose makes the big club, but other than that, lack of promotions could lead to a very skilled Griffins team. Could see potentially all of Zadina, Veleno, Svechnikov, Seider, and Kaski there. There's also the potential that Rasmussen and Cholowski end up there.

Awesome list Tryamkin. For Canucks I’d have Madden ahead of Rathbone and Lind for sure though.

I'm wondering why none of the goalie prospect lists have Kevin Lankinen.
His last season (2017-2018) in Finnish league was decent (actually stats 1.33 GA and save-% 0.946 in 15 games for Helsinki IFK are spectacular). Obviously first season in NA (AHL & ECHL) wasn't that good, but he certainly had a huge campaign in World Championships (1.50/0.942) being the most important piece for Finland to get the gold (even without any NHL help (ok, Kakko and Jokiharju are NHL level prospects)).
Might be that he can not convert his game to North American style, but if he does, he could be one of the better G prospects around.

Try. Amazing list—really appreciate all the work.
A few comments.
I really like where you have Glass, Frost, and Farabee.
As a Canes fan I think much of the hockey world is sleeping on Jake Bean. He just had a top-25 all-time AHL production season—his production at 20 surpassed David Savard, Shea Theodore, and Roman Josi. All this while significantly improving his defensive play.
In general, I am a little higher on Kaut and Ylonen. But hard to be critical as you have put in more thought than any of us who are going to reply.

Great list. Gonna be a lot of risers this year out of the latter 100 or so. I’d find a place on the list for BO Groulx. Maybe take Aleski Saarela and put him out on the street with us common folk.

I'm a little surprised Rykov didn't make the list for the Rangers, as I consider him one of our better D prospects, probably 4th after Miller, Fox, Lundkvist.
As a Rangers fan, I personally think Lundkvist should be higher, and that Shesterkin is the best of the Russian goalie trio. But those are probably biased suggestions

Good list.
Wonder what Nedeljkovic has to do more to be considered a top 15 goalie prospect though. Has to be the most underrated prospect I have seen, even by Canes fans.

What the deuce
Great job covering 250 prospects. A couple guys here and there that are too high/too low but it's still pretty good. Off the top of my head, some guys I think you have too high are Frost (even though I'm a huge fan), Kyrou, and Pelletier. Great prospects but I'd slide them down a little.
