I have to agree with Enoch, they have a nice group of prospects... but they should be in that 8-10 area IMHO
I greatly prefer the Kings forward prospects to that of the Oilers. Compare Brown, Cammalleri, Tambellini, Tukonen, Lehoux, Boyle, Kanko, Pushkarev vs Schremp, Pouliot, Winchester, Jacques, McDonald, Rita, Jacques, Niinimaki. No real contest, IMO.kruezer said:I like the Kings slighty over Edmonton on Forward and Defense, just slightly, but having JDD and DD is a huge advantage over anything the Kings have in the Nets IMO, they seem about equal.

I guess that's what did in the Flyers because they have some very quality prospects but don't have alot of depth. When David Print is in your top twenty you know there's a problem.Eric Forest said:I'd like to hear that. You rank a team by its depth at every position. The only need the Canadiens have is an offensive defenseman. Everything else is set. Skilled forwards, defensive defensemen, defensive forwards, goaltenders, leadership, gritty players...

I wouldn't - and definitely not when you take Pitkanen out of the equation as the writers here seemed to have done. I'd take Kari Lehtonen alone over Carter and Richards together. Once you get past that, I think Coburn, Slater, Valabik and the rest of Atlanta's prospects trump Umberger, Ruzicka, Seidenberg, and the rest of Philly's. If you include Pitkanen in the mix, then things maybe tilt back in Philly's favor.John Flyers Fan said:I'll take the Flyers grouping over Atlanta ...
Freaky Habs Fan said:Yeah right...
Vanek=Kostitsyn(down the road)
Roy<Higgins(Higgins will be the best player of these two but Roy will be good)
Paille<Chipchura(Paille offense in the NHL will not be very good)
Stafford<=Perezhogin(hard to say with these two...different type of player but right now, Perezhogin is the best player)
Bottom line, Montreal's foward are better...But I have to admit that you have the edge in front of the net...
Sid will change that?tom_servo said:Yeah, they're both just overflowing with proven talent.
Perezhogin is clearly IMO the best habs prospect and I see no reason why he should not play with the habs next year.. IMO people underrate him because he did not play in the AHL this year ...ktownhockey said:I think Roy will be more of an impact player than Higgins, however they both have a chance to be stars in the NHL... I just feel people are lower on Roy because of his size.. but at every level he's brought it.. I think alot of people will disagree but he's a Peter Forsberg type player... maybe not as good defensively and 10 points behind him as his cieling. Higgins is very good.. but an ordinary safer prospect....
I also think Stafford will be much better than Perezhogin

MePutPuckInNet said:I have a question regarding the listing of each team's "Top Prospects" on the rankings - Are they listed in order? As in....number 1 - whatever? And if so, then I have to assume it's a collective decision, but a collective decision by whom?
I'm just asking....not a complaint
tom_servo said:If his point was that a strong prospect pool automatically offsets a feeble NHL roster, then I strongly disagree.
