2019-20 End of the Season Prospect Tier Rankings
Here's my most recent Austrian hockey prospect rankings.
This year is pretty exciting because a couple good friends of mine are hoping to get drafted. We'll see. The U20 WJC was completely unexpected but it was kinda the culmination of years of...
Note: I started writing this one quite some time ago, before the hockey has been stopped, but put it on pause, as I have no idea, what the free agency market would look like this year. Still, as I see that the talk and speculation on this topic is still ongoing, I thought that I should...
This year I will go alphabetically mostly because it will be more interesting to me that way rather than going top to bottom. As towards the bottom, I get sad and on the top, it's boring. This year especially, since most of the top teams just focused on keeping players which is very rare...

7 Chicago Blackhawks: Ian Mitchell (D/CAN), MacKenzie Entwistle (F/CAN), Jakub Galvas (D/CZE), Philipp Kurashev (F/SUI), Henri...
Outside of the Miracle on Ice (the guys drafted/eligible from 76-81), the greatest era for USA Hockey was 1987-1992. I am talking specifically about drafts in a row. That is the era that brought much of the 1996 World Cup Gold winners together, and the core group for 1998/2002 Olympics as well...
Seen a lot of talk about the level of play and players in the Olympics and I can understand the disappointment for the NHL's decision of not letting the NHL players go, however people who can't enjoy this tournament are NHL fans not hockey fans. It is always funny to see how (mostly NA fans)...
