Plus there's still a few guys there where we're not quite sure what we have. Seney for instance had a pretty productive first 12 games last season for Bing. Boqvist had 13 points in 23 games as a 19 year old in the Swedish men's league. There's some potential there that's not being talked about because none of these guys were taken in the first round.Its not always the best to have a top 10 prospect pool unless its backed up by a top 3 pick from the most recent draft. They're usually carried by players that should be NHLers but haven't stepped up. Previous prospect pool darlings consist of guys like Brayden Schenn, Jacob Markstrom, and more recently, Dylan Strome.
The top players don't stay as prospects long enough to make a difference.
