I actually liked HF's old prospect criteria system more, which drew the line once a player wasn't eligible for the Calder anymore. (25 GP in 1 year or at least six in two years, and must be under the age of 25). I've been doing an independent prospect ranking for nearly a decade, and my criteria uses the Calder eligibility system.

Coming into the season, Minnesota had a lot of questions on either prospects or young players. Not counted is Koivu, who progressed a lot this year and Bouchard.

One of the huge factors this year was Minnesota's defense. Minnesota coming into this year had a shakey defense and many applauded them for taking Thelen. He nose-dived this year. Burns on the otherhand exceeded expectations as a rookie defenseman, a position he hasn't played in for a couple of years. Stoner had a phenominal season and looked like he took the next step. Reitz had a great season but ended on a sour note when he was injured.

Volo is still a question mark but Irmen again had a great season for the Gophers. Melanson and Courchaine are a wash since no one expects them to do very much in the AHL.

Harding though, Harding I think surprised some people.

I understand everything and I agree with Minnesota's placement to some degree.


I wouldn't complain too much about Minnesota's ranking. I could make an arguement about Detroit having just as good of prospects as Minnesota, placing them in the teens. Its a losing cause around here, though.
