I am curious to see how people's perceptions of our prospects have changed since the fall, with almost another full season of development.
I took my crack at a top 25 of what we still have in the system.
The criteria I went with was under 25 years of age, and players who are on the NHL roster as of the trade deadline are not included (so no Kapanen or Dermott).
I was looking at age (room for future development), current point in development, trajectory since drafted/signed, and likelihood to make a future impact at the NHL level in determining the ranks.
