Hockey Prospectus Top 100 Prospects

[Hybbe]

Scheifele outside top 107? Really?

 

[Lundell4Prez]

Gudbranson 64 LMFAO

Scheifele outside top 107? Really?

I was wondering the same thing.

As a Habs fan, I'm... speechless about Palushaj's presence on this list.

 

[Dutchy]

Mayfield in front of Guds?

 

[Benttheknee]

When you use a statistic based system, it may change the status quo substantially, and it seems to have done just that.

The question becomes, how accurate is the result? We will know in a couple of years. Havs Hockey Prospectus released top 100 lists from the past? How have those fared?

As I recalled, he put Detroit as number 1 in his list, and this reflects that with guys at 16, 18, 23, 25 62 , 74 and 103

Yes, that means that Detroit has 4 of the top 25 prospects in the league!

unless i missed it....where is Oscar Klefbom?

 

[ecemleafs]

is the author of this the same guy that does the horrendous mock drafts on nhl.com right before the draft?

no..

 

[zeus3007*]

Awful. Just awful.

 

[SI90]

this list sucks..... nothing more to it.....I love Kabanov...but lets be honest with ourselves..... And Nino at 30 is .......I think Ryan Johannson should be #1

And Runblad should be top 10 easy.....


Simon Despres is way too low....

I could go on.....

Nice to see Anders Lee on the list though....

 

[HumanCheatCode]

Scheifele outside top 107? Really?

I would agree that this is probably the worst missed ranking. Ask the Islanders if they would trade Kabanov straight up for Scheifele and I guarantee you we all know the answer.

 

[YARR123]

You guys should check out the link talking about the corsi system, it does make things a little more logical. I'm not saying I agree with everything here though. Also it's obvious this list is based on different things than a regular list. Atleast there's a system that's being followed rather than just randomly putting guys in order. It's pretty hard to say which is better, say Gudbranson or Kuznetsov, because they play a totally different game.

Also I noticed that the list has favors individual skill combined with efficiency in the all-around game. It favors the value a player has on his team; notice top 9 players are centers, which is the most valuable position

Still, pretty shocked to see Granlund #1 and guys like Nino all the way down to #30

 

[Gargyn]

unless i missed it....where is Oscar Klefbom?

he is staying in sweden i think!

 

[Soundgarden]

For the Predators I really don't see how Ekholm(24) is ahead of both Ellis(49) and Josi(54)

 

[Voodoo Child]

Too High: Strome, Loktionov (WAY too high...), Erixon, Kabanov, Savard, Colborne, Grimaldi

Too Low: Rundblad, Nino, Hamilton, Landeskog, Dalpe, Ellis, Spooner, Despres, Cowen, Gardiner, Zucker

 

[The Saw Is the Law]

Too Low: Rundblad, Nino, Hamilton, Landeskog, Dalpe, Ellis, Spooner, Despres, Cowen, Gardiner, Zucker

And Coyle.

This ranking prefers puck skills instead of physical abilities

Good call, and also Gudbranson at 64 (he's easily a top-20 prospect), Filatov at 40 (- about 15-20 spots), DaCosta at 46 (why is he even on this list?), Hodgson at 52 (I'd slot him just inside the top 40), Kreider at 70 (top-50), and I'd put Knight, Kassian, Blacker, Sheahan and Beck at various places inside the list.

The most egregious offense? Grimaldi ahead of draft-mates Landeskog, Hamilton and Armia. Did he grow five inches since late June?

 

[R S]

Another list by Corey, and another list that I see some flaws in (in my opinion)

That's fine though, everyone sees things differently.

Thanks for taking the time to write this and post it Corey.

Hey, I find your approach refreshing. Just wondering when you break up the skills for ranking if there is a weighted system as to which skills will represent more points at the next level. For a defensmen, for instance, I look for first pass and edgework opposed to a shot and straight away speed.

 

[CloneHakanPlease*]

Wings with 4 in the top 30.

I like different lists, thanks for putting this out there. I think ALOT of people here need to readup on what corsi rating is. Too many people here point stat stare and dont take in many other statistics.

 

[Bobs your uncle]

Very flawed list IMO.

 

[Rhaego]

Landeskog at 39? Holy underrating batman, is he not a top 10 prospect?

I didn't see Siemens either.... Damn the Avs missed on this draft

 

[nomorekids]

For the Predators I really don't see how Ekholm(24) is ahead of both Ellis(49) and Josi(54)

i won't speak tot he temerity of the list (though I do like scientific metrics, rather than "it just seems like he'll be better" lists), but I personally believe Ekholm is our top defensive prospect above both Ellis and Josi, and would stack him up against nearly any other defensive prospect out there. 6'4, physical defensemen that skate like the wind and can work the puck don't grow on trees. Winning SEL rookie of the year is just a feather in his cap. Look for him to beat out Ellis and Josi for the vacant defensive spot in Nashville this season.
