I'll try for the Dallas Stars, starting from 2000:
2000:
Antti Miettinen (
224th)
Stars best prospect for a few years now, propbably the best since Brenden Morrow. Doesn't seem to have many holes in his game, though he seems to get injured rather easily these days. Highly skilled, defensively responsible, likes to lay players down on the open ice, plays a mature game.
2001:
Jussi Jokinen (
192nd)
Another Finn; Jussi is one of Finland's most consistant prospects. Doesn't seem to get any recognition while in fact he has outscored hyped Mikko Koivu in each and every season. In fact, Jussi has one FNL season less under his belt, and no, he's not older, in fact he's a month younger. Mikko's career season: 6 goals - 24 assists for 30 points, Jussi's; 15 goals - 23 assists for 38 points.
2002:
David Bararuk (
147th)
Coming off a very good season. Bararuk led the Steelheads in ppg for as well the regular season as the playoffs, where another Stars prospect, Dan Ellis grabbed the honors as playoff MVP right before him. Very talented but still a little unproven at the proffesional level, though he seems to be off to a good start this year.
2003:
Alexander Naurov (
147th)/
Elias Granath (
196th)
It's getting a bit harder to tell as most of these guys haven't had the time to seperate themselves from the rest, but both were somewhat "steals" in 2003. Granath played for Swedish under 18 squad and is one of 3 Stars prospect with the potential to play for Sweden's defense some day (Fransson, Grossman being the other two). With one season under his belt, Granath made elite prospects top 50 prospect list. Naurov is a slick playmaker with a lot of potential. Very raw and unproven but one to keep your eye on nonetheless.
2004:
Fredrik Naslund (
104th)
Don't know much about him to be honest, so I'll just copy/paste his elite prospect profile:
Elite prospects said:
Prior to this season this big winger had not seen any senior action, but Västerås’ coach Pär Bäckman played him in a good amount of games and Näslund displayed flashes of brilliance. As the season progressed Näslund saw more and more ice-time in the U18 junior league where he clearly was on another level than most of the opposing forwards. He scored 12 goals and 15 assists in 14 games and was basically unstoppable on the ice. It should however be noted many players in the league were younger and Näslund had another intensity level since he had already played senior hockey. In the U18 World Junior Championships Näslund was quite anonymous and did not really do anything to improve his stock for the draft.
He is an offensively very skilled player. Näslund has great size and is a quite fast skater when he reaches full speed. When he skates with the puck he is tough to stop and has a good scoring touch. He has also good technical skills and reads the game well. However, he has some work to do with his defensive game and his consistency. Näslund should be ready to be a full time regular in the second tier league next season. At 6’4†he is among the biggest players in the league and with good linemates he will be able to show off more of his offensive side next season.
