This is my boomstick
The Devils add Parise, and lose their blueline prospects......suddenly they are no. 4 overall?
Give me a break
I like who they have, but 4th????

How about Organizational Prospect Rankings. Prospect Rankings sounds to individualistic, if I didn't have priar knowledge of it I would assume it to be the same as HF top 100 prospects just without the list of 1-100. Full name unnabreviated would be uber long though "Hockey's Future Mid-season Organizational Prospect Rankings" might hurt as a selling point.zeppelin97 said:They seriously have to rename 'organizational rankings' since it can be misleading. Organizational rankings is a misnomer, it should be Prospect rankings.

there's no way that we could of predicted his demotion
Handsome B. Wonderful said:I know and I agree, but here's an idea...wait until he actually crosses the barrier before counting him as graduated
He's been listed as "graduated" since before he played his 10th game on the Pens section of the site.
Just as how you couldn't predict you would have been demoted you shouldn't have assumed he wouldn't.
JasonMacIsaac said:Habs have so many talented forward prospects its unreal. As a Devils fan I am extreamly pleased with the rankings and if there are any devils fans who arn't they are insane.
Unbiased Canadian said:A young player who is still develop and has yet to hit his full potential....If i were to agree with your definition of prospect that would make in my mind Lecavelier, the Sedins, Zetterberg, Chistov even Mathieu Garon would all still be considered prospects because they are young players who haven't reached there full potential and the positions they are in, they are STILL DEVELOPING. You have to draw the line somewhere man!

DutchLeafsfan said:Well, as stated in the previous thread the criteria used to come up with these rankings are seriously flawed. The whole graduation criteria make this a list of "teams with the best looking prospects not good enough to make the NHL" rather than what they aim to be, an ''organisational rankings''.
Even with these criteria however, I fail to see how Edmonton is #3, find the Devils at 4 rather ridiculous, am surprised by the Coyotes at 5 and feel the Habs are probably overrated as well. Buffalo, Columbus and Atlanta seem to be too high as well. Although I appreciate the effort put in, I just find it hard to take these rankings extremely seriously, contrary to last year...

Hockeycrazed07 said:PS. For those of you that are critical of the work, do it yourselves...you've got an entire board dedicated to just that, so let's see you're opinions, instead of hearing you whine and complain about what others think. Are you man (or woman, to appease those so inclined) enough to do it, or will you just run your mouth at others' attempts?
DutchLeafsfan said:I''d rate Andrei Kostitsyn one notch below the real top prospects (the Nashes, Staals, Spezzas etc.).
I don't know enough about all of the players listed to even attempt such an undertaking. This is also why you don't find me yapping when I think I know something about it. I thank people for their time and I move on.forbesy said:that ain't a bad idea,
you all seem nice and opinionated and knowledgeable, start churning out your own lists, show us how it's done
I think you need to stop licking some shoes here. Nobody insulted them for the work!Hockeycrazed07 said:I don't know enough about all of the players listed to even attempt such an undertaking.

It's called growing up. Something a lot of people here (not you, F) need to do, apparently.

EDIT: Further, complaining about this site rather odd, if I do say so myself. What, are people not getting their money's worth? Let them complain about Redline or Hockey Forecaster, but for HF, which is run for free to the public? Please. There are other soapboxes to stand on, if I may.
