If I had to keep one prospect. It would be SDA.
I think he has the highest upside

What is NHLe? And what does 61 mean? Is that like projected NHL points at 61?
Totally agree. Very well stated. The best prospects are the ones with the most raw talent and exceptional skill. We got Sandin, Bracco and SDA. Those guys all have it in spades. Maybe none of them ever make it because you have got to have GAME in the end but at this stage those would be the 3 guys plus the 2 goalies I would not trade. Everyone else could go if the price was right.Voted SDA here. I really like his skillset and I think he has the highest potential out of the others.
I feel like a lot of people are doubting his abilities due to an average season on a lackluster team.
Add Loponen and Holmberg

Agree everyone defines it differently which is why hockey is so great a game and can be debated til the cows come home. My thinking is you can't teach someone to skate like Orr. You can't teach someone to have Lafleur's hands/touch. You can't put Gretz hockey brain in someone else.But a prospect is defined different by every person, whether it's "Readiness", "Skillset", "Grit", "Size", "IQ", "Ceiling", "Floor", "Age", etc. Just because someone sees SDA's skill and thinks "wow if he hits he could be a 1st liner" doesn't mean he's a better prospect than a guy like Korshkov (not that I'm saying he is) because Korshkov's floor, grit, size, and readiness are all much better than a guy like SDA. Also, doesn't mean he's more valuable to the team, or to another.
I wouldn't hesitate trading Bracco, SDA, or the goalies if we're getting something we need back that would be better for us going forward. The only prospects that should be basically untouchable at this point are Sandin and Liljegren.
