1. Sean Farrell
2. Justin Barron
3. Joshua Roy
4. Cayden Primeau
5. Jordan Harris
6. Kaiden Guhle
7. Jacob Dobes
8. Jesse Ylonen
9. RHP
10. Logan Mailloux
11. Riley Kidney
12. Matias Norlinder
13. Gianni Fairbrother
14. Emil Heineman
15. Jayden Truble
16 Jan Mysak
17. Blake Biondi
18. Luke Tuch
19. Oliver Kapanen
20. Frederik Dichow


Anything beyond that, and even anything beyond 10 is probably not gonna play more than 10 games in the NHL. The rest are probably going to be role players. Farrel and Barron have a good shot at being top 6/top 4,
Imagine ranking Guhle 6th, Im such a f***ing clown.

Guhle saw this and said aight bet and became a 1D right out the gate

Is there a handy list of our prospects anywhere? Presumably ranked in some order?

Mailloux, Hutson and Reinbacher are the clear cut top 3- all defenseman but all different- so the order depends on preference, but all 3 look like top 4 dmen. I’d have them in the order I listed them but it’s close.

Roy is our top forward prospect, followed by Beck and Heineman. Roy looks like a 2nd line winger and PP specialist, while Beck and Heineman look like quality 3rd liners.

I hope you're right with Roy. I am really concerned about his skating. That's why I had him at 7 on my list.

Barron graduated.

I normally do my lists by positions, but it’s clear to me he’ll be first for defensemen and first in a consolidated ranking.

Surprising how bad our list looks two drafts into a rebuild and with no one left to trade.

Hutson and Reinbacher both have to be studs or we're sunk. We probably also need Dach to surpass what Suzuki is right now.
I have the opposite opinion.

I feel our core has rapidly and clearly took place and although its still infant and need much more development, i think its promising as f***.

(Suzuki, Caufield, Dach, Slafkovsky, Newhook

Guhle, Reinbacher, Hutson)

Slafkovsky, Beck, Hutson, Dach, Reinbacher, Newhook.

Quite the f***ing haul in two years. We don't know how it will evolve but HuGo may have turned this franchise on a dime.

It looks ok, but when compare to Buffalo, with the players they have graduated over the last 2-3 years and the absolute studs they still have in the pipeline... Habs have a LOT of work to do!

We really needed some skill forward prospects who aren't critically flawed in the physical department. Roy allegedly cannot skate too well, the rest are either shrimps who don't fit in our already small top6 or they're bottom6ers and therefore irrelevant for the time being. Maybe they'll overperform but it would be good to have a prospect or two who is a protagonist forward for his team... give us some hope.

1.) Reinbacher
2.) Hutson
3.) Mailloux
4.) Roy
5.) Heineman
6.) Engström
7.) Beck
8.) Farrell
9.) Kidney
10.) Dobes

Lots of mobile defence, very - and I can't emphasize this enough - speculative offence. Could be a couple really good forwards in that group, but it could also be absolutely nothing.
