- 8,686
Just from the list on the front page, here's who should still be on (at best):
4. Evgeni Malkin
11. Cam Barker
13. Alexander Semin
14. Braydon Coburn
16. Jack Johnson
19. Ryan Getzlaf
20. Andrei Kostitsyn
23. Corey Perry
24. Benoit Pouilot
25. Alexander Perezhogin (only because he just got sent back down)
26. Patrick O'Sullivan
28. Eric Fehr
29. Robbie Schremp
33. Lauri Tukonen
35. Anton Babchuk (he won't be on the 2006 summer list)
36. Bobby Ryan
38. Anze Kopitar
48. Shea Weber
49. Al Montoya
50. Shawn Belle
I can see the following still be on due to injuries:
3. Kari Lehtonen
31. Gilbert Brule
32. Niklas Kronwall
43. Andrew Ladd
46. Petteri Nokelainen
That's half the list that should be considered graduated to the NHL. Belle should be *way* off this list (if he's on, it should be at 50 - no higher), and guys on the injured list shouldn't get a huge jump up just because they were hurt.
I'd mention which of the Blues prospects I think should be on the list and where, but I'm going to trust the committee deciding the rankings. They'll have enough fun trying to fill out half a list.
