So now that all of the seasons are over with. What are your final prospect rankings. I consider Larkin and AA graduated. My ranking takes into account closeness to the NHL but also projected talent as well.
1. Mantha (Looked good in his callup/ finished with a great playoffs)
2. Svech (Had a solid final junior season, and looked solid in his AHL callup)
3. Bert (I may be overrating Bert, but I think he could be great pest/ underrated goal scorer at the NHL level. He's a playoff type guy)
4. Russo (Had a fantastic debut at the AHL level, Wings really need him to follow that up next year)
5. Oullett (A solid if unspectacular AHL season, needs to figure out that next step to the NHL)
6. Sajaarvi (I expect more from him next season after the mess in juniors [not his fault but it did hurt his development some], hopefully he can transition well to the AHL)
7. Hicketts (His sizes keeps me from thinking he makes the NHL, but he is consistently one of Canada's top dmen for his age group)
8. Homer (A meh regular season, followed by a better playoffs. Heard his skating has improved a bit, still has a ways to go if he wants to make the NHL)
9. Sadowy (Don't know much about him, but it sounds like he had a great year in junior. Should provide scoring depth at the AHL level)
10. Turgeon (Solid final junior year, where he finally picked up his scoring pace, hopefully his game translates a bit better than Nastys did)
11. Sproul (Finally put together a 2 way game at the AHL level, but it might be too little to late for Sproul. All tools, still not quite enough toolbox)
12. Nosek (Expected more from him at the AHL level, needs to rebound big time if he wants an NHL spot)
13. Coureau (Looks like a solid NHL backup in the making)
14. Frk (Great season in the AHL, but may be another case of too little too late. Could have similar problems to Pulu, but sounds like he is grittier. I could see the Wings keep him and deal Pulu)
15. Nasty (Needs to solidify an AHL spot next year, or he will get written off quickly.)
HM: Jensen (Too old to really be a prospect at this point, could still be a bottom pairing guy on another NHL team)
