DutchLeafsfan said:Well, as stated in the previous thread the criteria used to come up with these rankings are seriously flawed. The whole graduation criteria make this a list of "teams with the best looking prospects not good enough to make the NHL" rather than what they aim to be, an ''organisational rankings''.
Even with these criteria however, I fail to see how Edmonton is #3, find the Devils at 4 rather ridiculous, am surprised by the Coyotes at 5 and feel the Habs are probably overrated as well. Buffalo, Columbus and Atlanta seem to be too high as well. Although I appreciate the effort put in, I just find it hard to take these rankings extremely seriously, contrary to last year...

top end talent? buddy kastiskyn is top end talent to say the least. and they got alote of solid ones to his rear.DutchLeafsfan said:They have good depth, but IMO no real top end talent in their system. That said upon closer inspection their group looks pretty good compared with most others listed. I just have some major issues with the criteria used, and which have caused some organisations who I consider to be better than the Habs to fall a fairly massive amount of places. That said the Habs are by no means the most shocking selection, and checking the lists I can probably live with it given the prospects which apparently qualified. The major shockers to me are the Devils, followed by the Thrashers...
You havn't a clue what your talking about, they have 3 top talent players in Kastitsyn, Higgins and Perezhogin, add that to their Juiniors that are ripping up in PEI and their AHL prospects there isn't on team who could compete.DutchLeafsfan said:They have good depth, but IMO no real top end talent in their system.
