I picked up a copy, and I'll point out a few things on the Blues:
1. If Tom Timmermann was responsible for ranking the Blues prospects, then I understand why it's largely screwed up. Timmermann has as much business writing about hockey as I do writing about the NBA; he's slightly more credible than Kara Yorio and that's still not saying much. His credibility is shot because ...
2. ... Soderberg is ranked as the #6 prospect for the Blues - behind Jeff Woywitka, David Backes and Roman Polak. I love Backes and I think he's underrated by a lot of people, but to put Woywitka 3rd on the Blues prospect list is just asinine and to put Bacashihua 8th behind Woywitka, Polak and Scott Jackson underscores how badly the Blues list is off.
3. Nikita shouldn't even be on this list; Bishop might be 10th after all is said and done. Woywitka might be 6th, the list should go Oshie, Schwarz, Soderberg, Bacashihua, and Backes for the top 5. Konstantin Barulin should be on there (he was inexplicably left off despite becoming a #1 goalie in the Russian Superleague at 20), Michael Birner might have earned a spot based on his play in the OHL this year.
4. "Defenseman Dennis Wideman and left winger Lee Stempniak would have been on this list, but were recalled to St. Louis and established themselves as regulars." Really? Stempniak a regular? He was barely getting 3rd line minutes before being sent down on December 28, the only reason he's back up is because Doug Weight and Mike Sillinger were traded; otherwise he'd still be in Peoria. Not to say he shouldn't be considered, but if getting called up a 2nd time qualifies as "earned a regular spot," then Marc-Andre Fleury and R.J. Umberger shouldn't have been listed for a similar reason.
Timmermann, ....
