I wouldn't call Dumo a prospect anymore now that he's no longer waiver-exempt. He basically has to be an NHLer at this point.

I would say
1. Pouliot
2. Sprong
3. Sundqvist
4. Murray
5. Jarry
6. Wilson
7. Rust
8. Simon
9. Guentzel
10. Uher

 

[Black Label]

1) Pouliot
2) Sundqvist
3) Sprong
4) Murray
5) Wilson
6) Jarry
7) Rust
8) Blueger
9) Simon
10) Dea

1) Pouliot
2) Sprong
3) Murray
4) Wilson
5) Jarry
6) Sundqvist
7) Guentzel
8) Blueger
9) Dea
10) Simon

Most of mine is based on Potential. I know a lot of people are high on Sundqvist but hes still only a bottom 6 guy. Sprong and Wilson both have top 6 potential and Jarry could be a starting goalie, thats why I have them ahead.

 

[PensBandwagonerNo272*]

1) Pouliot
2) Sundqvist
3) Sprong
4) Murray
5) Wilson
6) Jarry

Your lists needs more Jeff Taylor guys.

Uher's not waiver-exempt anymore, either (though I would still count him as a prospect). Dumoulin's only played in 19 NHL games. I think he can still be counted as a prospect. Pouliot, on the other hand, already has over 30 NHL games under his belt. By HF's criteria at least, Pouliot's already graduated.

 

[Jacob]

I'm only going to count guys that haven't seen NHL time just because.

1. Murray
2. Sprong
3. Sundqvist
4. Jarry
5. Sheary
6. Guentzel
7. Simon
8. Taylor
9. Byron
10. Dea

Yikes

 

[Sidney BrOSSby*]

Rutherford needs to take a cheat sheet to the next draft.

 

[stepdad gaary]

1. Pouliot
2. Sprong
3. Sundvist
4. Murray
5. Jarry
6. Zlobin
7. Blueger
8. Byron

Thanks, I didn't know that about Uher. Swap McNeil for Uher then.

I do agree that Pouliot has basically graduated but I want to make sure this coming season before taking him off the list.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

When you consider guys like Pouliot, Dumoulin, and Sundqvist will probably taking on NHL roles this season, that prospect list looks pretty damn ugly.

Like, worst in the league ugly.

 

[Dangles78]

1. Murray
2. Sprong
3. Sundqvist
4. Jarry
5. Guentzel
6. Wilson
7. Blueger
8. Archibald
9. Byron
10. Simon/Taylor/Segalla

Assuming we aren't counting Pouliot/Dumoulin

 

[Deutschland Dangler]

True, but the the goal is not to be ranked #1 on Hockey's Future, the goal is contending for the Cup. And if these players all make it to the NHL, we have 5 players on ELCs in the big leagues, which is very good. Additionally, we have two generational players at center, a solid starting goalie and a true #1 defenseman, i.e. the most pieces that are the hardest to acquire. Additionally, we have at least 3 legitimate top 6 wingers (for the first time in forever), a very good chance to have a very solid #2 defenseman (to complete the first pairing). What needs to be filled out is the bottom six and the two bottom pairs. Not easy with the cap space, but not impossible.
Long story short, many teams have a much better prospect pool but also need to get some starting goalies, #1-#2 defensemen, top line wingers or #1-#2 centers out of it.

So yeah, it's ugly but it could be worse. Like New Jersey worse, for example (EDIT: And by that I mean the situation, not the prospect pool).

Third time was the charm for trading defense prospects.

Those morrow and Murray trades though, yeesh.

1. Murray

6. Guentzel

8. Taylor
9. Byron
10. Dea

I agree with this list. Despite being a 2nd rd pick, I don't think Blueger is one of our top 10 prospects.

Yeah, the team's got a lot going for it. Just not the prospect pool.

Will someone be doing the prospect polls again? I know we usually get to 20, but this year could be hilarious if it goes that far.

 

[BrunoPuntzJones]

It's really amazing how in two years we went from basically having the top six spots all allotted to defensemen to some of these lists having none.

 

[crosby is the sauce]

When are we going to get that yearly prospect ranking vote thread chain going on?

My take (added an 11th if you think Pouliot should be graduated)


1 Derrick Pouliot
2 Matt Murray
3 Oskar Sundqvist
4 Daniel Sprong
5 Tristan Jarry
6 Scott Wilson
7 Jake Guentzel
8 Dominik Simon
9 Jean Sebastien Dea
10 Josh Archibald
11 Frederik Tiffels

edit: forgot about sheary, hes up there, take out tiffels

 

[EVGENIMERLIN]

Pens are over due for a late round steal

I'd assume Burgs will be heading it up again once it's time.

1) Derrick Pouliot
2) Oskar Sundqvist
