People actually use the HF rankings?
That was my exact thought too.

I really don't know, nor do I care to be honest. If we're worried about what prospects like these two are going to do to help this team win Cups, we're in more trouble than I thought.
Ya geez, don't all teams get their players from drafting sure thing #1 overalls? If the Oilers want to contend they need to start turning 2nd, 3rd, and 4th round picks into real players.

Many of these guys were waived for free this season already developed Tambo passed on them . Poor tradeHe's big, drives the net, loves to hit, can fight, and actually has decent hands. He's the type of guy we needed to add
Yes. MUCH. People need to look into him a bit more
Ok, well when Rieder turns out to be a better pro than this guy, you can bring this up and laugh in my face. And when Kessy turns out to be a better pro than Rieder...I won't do anything because I'll have forgotten all about this.
5.0D is as bad as it gets for a prospect ranking.
I'll admit I don't know much about the kid.
But 5.0 = potential to be a 4th liner
D = Unlikely to reach potential, could drop 3 ratings
This seems worse than Abney to me.

I don't understand the insistence on drafting and developing guys like this when there's so many that are constantly always on the market.
We could have just kept Hordichuk in the line-up.
Do you anything about him other than what some HF writer rated him?
Rieder is 5'11'' 190lbs, can play C, RW or LW, is one of the best goal scorers in the OHL and one of the best two-way players/PKers in the OHL.
And we traded him for a Kessy because he's big and can fight. That's basically all Kessy has going for him. He's got average puck skills among WHLers and awful skating.
I don't remember many Non-NHLer, prospects, being waived, I must of missed that.

I'm surprised to see so many people disappointed with this trade.
When I check out the Trade Rumours and Proposals thread all I ever see is people suggesting we trade our small, skilled forwards for refrigerators with half the skill.
