One of the Blues posters asked why Mike Glumac wasn't considered a prospect by HF, so I looked up HF's criteria and since Glumac is 25 (DOB 4/5/1980) he's too old by HF's definition.
However, then I read the criteria for European players:
So if I'm reading this right, wouldn't this imply that Magnus Kahnberg (DOB 2/25/1980) should be considered a Blues prospect by HF once he signs an NHL contract? I don't see anything in the definition above which would imply that it only counts if said player is under age whatever, and I'm just trying to get a clarification here.
However, then I read the criteria for European players:
http://www.hockeysfuture.com/whatmakesaprospect.php3. European players who sign their first NHL contract at or above the age of 22 have three seasons from the time they sign that contract to meet the above criteria. Those European players below the age of 22 that have signed a NHL contract will be subjected to the criteria in section one.
