Just a random observation, and maybe people are low on Salo because we still don't know a ton about him, but it seems like 3-5 years ago our 2nd round pick (and first in the draft) would have easily been ranked in the top 10. May just not be remembering correctly, but I feel like this is a positive sign for our depth especially on D. A guy who was drafted in the 2nd round with potential to be a top 4 guy some day, we are ranking as our 5th best D prospect. We need some more depth at RW and C but on D, G, and LW we are very strong.
Also another random observation, but the HF 2013 rankings had 1. Strome, 2. Nelson, and 3. Reinhart as our top 3 prospects. Goes to show you, you can't get too high on your own players until you see consistent impact at the NHL level. Until then, they're all wild cards.
In addition, Matt Donovan was #5 ahead of both CDH and Anders Lee. What a world we live in

We have a very solid crop of prospects here. Where would you rank the Islanders as a team against others?
Top 10?
Top 5?
