My personal list in terms of potential:

1) Bouchard
2) Broberg
3) Holloway
4) Bourgault
5) Kesselring
6) Samorukov
7) Lavoie
8) Savoie
9) McLeod (high likelihood of being a NHLer but limited upside IMO)
10) Beryozkin
11) Konovalov
12) Skinner
13) Petrov
14) Munzenberger
15) Benson (time to be a NHLer or a likely career AHLer)
16) Rodrigue
17) Chiasson
18) Tullio
19) Kemp
20) LaChance
HM's: Safin, Denezkhin

Guys that IMO will likely not be NHLers so they aren't on my list: Marody & Berglund

Guys that basically have this season to shit or get off the pot: Benson, Maksimov and Safin

@ConnorMcMullet Always one of the highlights of the offseason. Thanks for all the hard work you put in. It's been a blast.

Thanks for doing this @ConnorMcMullet

Our prospect pool is actually looking pretty decent. This is the best our forward depth has looked in quite some time. Obviously the trio of D men in Bouchard who will graduate this year and then Broberg and Samorukov shouldn’t be too far away either down the road.

A few of these guys should be a nice addition to the lineup in the next 1-3 years or so.

 

[GOilers88]

Two first place finishes on HM lists?

Not too shabby.

Bump..
Not a bad season for #10,#11,#12 ranked prospects.

Also the guy at #20 had a 40G season

 

[belair]

Feel like we should mention Vincent Descharnais, who's having one hell of a breakout season in Bakersfield. Not mentioned in any of those previous lists and just signed this season to an NHL deal after being taken in the 7th round of the 2016 draft.

 

[LTIR]

Petrov, Nemeilinen and Desharnais would be the biggest risers with Samourkov, Benson and Lavoie likely falling out of top 10 despite graduation of McLeod and Bouchard

 

[Oilers]

How has Raphael Lavoie been looking? He was trending well at one point after he was drafted but seems to have tailed off? I don't watch very many Condors games and I hate to just go by what I see on stats

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Benson at 9. He’s not even in the top 20 anymore.
