This Top 20 doesn't look bad, but when you compare it to over half the league it looks pretty mediocre.

If you exclude Dobson and Wahlstrom there is no true Blue Chip or elite-level prospect (Raty has the potential to be one, but. would have to produce).

But for the most part they're all just names on a list. For example, a year or two ago Salo was probably not high on our list and now we're thinking we may have a top 4 defenseman.

Absolutely- there are NHL players within this group no doubt, but this prospect group doesn’t have the high level talent that could be used in a trade.
