Just for fun .... Whats in the numbers ???.. NO BASHING INTENDED
The Chicago team in ranked #3 in the Team Rankings ..and taken from the write up directly its top 3 prospect forwards are... .
"At forward, a trio of Russians in Igor Radulov, Mikhail Yakubov, and Pavel Vorobiev are all NHL ready, and any one of them could have a future on a scoring line. "
Interesting write-up considering the facts don't really tell the same story..
PLAYER ................POS....GP ...G ..A ..PTS
Igor Radulov.......... L..........15...0....0....0
Mikhail Yakubov .....C..........18...4....6...10
Pavel Vorobiev ......R...........19...2...5.....7
Totals..........................52 ..6...11...17
So Chicago Terrific Trio has played 52 games combined for 17 points..
PLAYER .............POS....GP ..G ..A ..PTS
Michael Cammalleri.....C....17...16..14....30
Totals........................17..16...14...30
So what is in the numbers ???
Is prospect rankings based on actual facts, while statistics alone don't tell the whole story agreed.. but do Hype and Draft position also factor in, or size or physical abilities more than actual results ??
Thought it was quite interesting that LA unranked ranked prospect could statistically out perform Chicago's highly touted trio by himself .. and if you factor in it took them 52 man games to get 17 points while Cammalleri has played in only 17 games & If you projected Cammalleri's current pace to = 52 games ..He would have 92 points..
Now the Chicago forwards all have a size advantage, but do they really have a skill or talent advantage as all are expected to make the NHL if they do as top line players ??
.. but when it really comes down to it who is the better player/prospect of all the 4 combined ?? Certainly based on actual stats the answer is clear ..
Can we draw any conclusions from comparisons like this ??
None are currently on any TOP LIST but have been in prior years .. but are some considered better prospects then others, all with different skill sets, but do some skill sets have more prospect weighting??.
