Prospect Info: Annual Prospect Ranking Palooza

[The Midnight Burrito]

Rankings are final. Big jumps for Gibson, Lindholm, and Rakell; big drops for DSP, Friberg, Vatanen and Bobkov. Overall the top 15ish are a damn fine group of prospects.

It's the annual ranking! This is not the poll - this is where the poll results will go. The polling will begin on Sunday afternoon, Nebraska time, once the rookie camp concludes and everyone has had a chance to digest the reports. Each poll be open for 48 hours. In the event of a tie, a 24-hour runoff will be held. The winner will get the open spot; the loser will go back into the pool, not get the next-lowest rank. The poll will go up to #25.

Prior years results (that I could find):
2004-05 Lockout II Edition
2010 Edition
2011 Edition
2012 Edition
(if anyone can find other years, let me know and I'll add them)

[Quack Shot]

They left out Etem.

 

[Exit Dose]

They left out Etem.

Etem is only on ours because we use HF's standard for eligibility. They left off Silfverberg as well, so I'm guessing that it's with NHL standard.

From the look of things, they would put Wagner where I would at 12. I'm more surprised that Kerdiles isn't on their top ten.

American kid drafted out of the USHL, playing in the NCAA?

American kid drafted out of the USHL, playing in the NCAA?

And ranked by a Canadian publication.

 

[Sojourn]

They must like Theodore, too. Right below Vatanen(who has a number of years on him), but above Karlsson, Noesen, holland Holland. Not to mention Kerdiles, who isn't ranked.

 

[Exit Dose]

I don't really know what their track record is at evaluating college kids. They caught on to Wagner, so I'll give them credit for at least following them when they hit the minors.

 

[Carelton CA]

Even worse that a Canadian publication doesn't rank DSP in the top 10 any more.
