You are probably joking I assume...
Perezhogin over Sharp is also debatable.

Ott = Snott said:Ottawa is a bit too high IMO. I think that they are top 20, but not top 15 anymore. Their depth is nothing to write home about and they have some prospects with questionmarks attached to them. Overall, a fairly accurate list.

Actually, I would rate the Rangers higher than the Canadiens because of the goaltending and defense make up for the lack of star forwards(besides Balej)modestfwd said:It's a lot closer than you think.
The way I see it, both teams are about the same in TOTAL prospect ranking.

Calgary D said:The Flames could beat any and all of these lineups with just one player: Dion Phaneuf.
guitaraholic said::lol
sorry, maybe I'm missing the sarcasm. Phaneuf is one of the top 2 or 3 prospects in the league but c'mon...

Our goaltending is F'ing fantasic. Montoya is pretty sure-fire. Blackburn's future is in trouble with his injury, but was considered a very good prospect when he was healthy. And then Lundqvist, the best goalie in Sweden and possibly all of Europe. Most likely starter for Sweden's world cup team. The lesser goalie of the three is Labarbra, the AHL MVP.

Ask any of the regulars on the SJ board, and they'll say the opposite. Max (X-Sharkie) wanted Vanek until I told him a bit about Michalek, at which point he dropped Vanek like a bad habit and jumped on the Michalek bandwagon.X-SHARKIE said:But for the record I wanted Michalek over Vanek in 2003
Its pretty bad when Werner doesn't even make the prospect teamFists of Fuhry said:That's just plain sick...

Holy hyperbole, Batman. Talk about overrating your prospects. I suppose this sort of "logic" would also suggest that Hugh Jessimen is "possibly the best prospect in the college ranks" right?
It's an interesting question. His skating is excellent and he tore up the scoreboard at the World Juniors, though it's debatable how much of that was his own innate talent or simply feeding off his center, tourney MVP and Devils phenom, Zach Parise. Werner might be ahead of Laich at this point, but I'm not convinced of that... hard to say. Shrug.JasonMacIsaac said:Its pretty bad when Werner doesn't even make the prospect team

To the thread starter, I'm curious why you're so concerned about Montreal's prospect depth being the best in the league?
It's no secret that Montreal's prospect rating will drop significantly next year. But the good news is, that's not because several of their prospects became busts, it's because some of their top prospects joined the NHL. Komisarek and Ryder have graduated already and Hainsey and Hossa will get permanent roster spots next year. The Habs are no-longer a bottom-feeder team looking towards a future 5 years down the line. They're already a competitive team and they should only get better. How can this be a bad thing? There's no need to have the best prospect depth in the NHL when you've got a great group of young players already on your roster.
mowthecat said:Hossa and Hainsey are going to jump right in to permanent NHL spots? Better tell Habs management cause I dont think they've got either penciled in quite yet. In fact both have got to be a ways down the Habs prospect list. Hossa has shown basically nothing to date outside of one little burst the year before last.
