Hockey's Future Spring 2006 Organizational Rankings (16-30)

[Charge_Seven]

Despite drafting so low the Sens are in the top 15.

So low? DIdn't you just draft 9th?

Im sure 1 pick does not vault the Sens in top 15th status. What about all the previous seasons.

1 pick could certainly make the difference between 15th and 14th though couldn't it?

It's not like you're first in org rankings.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

With all of the graduations to the Pens this year I wonder how far, if any, the Pens will drop. Three of our top seven have been with the Pens for a good part of this year, Whitney, Ouellet, and Armstrong. I am not at all certain that we will retain that number one ranking.

 

[Sotnos]

Tampa fans must not have seen this list yet. It's coming, no worries.

It's really not worth commenting on. Criticism is not welcomed, all it gets you is laughed at by condescending staff members. We know why we're ranked last, and it's not going to change any time soon.

 

[Chaos]

*faints* ----what kind of list is this when no one hates it?

Im sure people have problems with it, but maybe they've finally realized that *****ing and moaning about it wont do any good.

 

[OrrNumber4]

Superb job!

 

[GKJ]

The Avs higher than the Kings, Lightning, Flyers and Canucks? Please...

 

[MBJets]

I can not get the site to open can someone please open the site and post it.

 

[mooseOAK*]

I guess that goaltending isn't considered to be an important position around these parts.

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

Guess you didnt follow the last draft? Avs had the top draft out of any team based on position.

I hope you are not complaining about Toronto's ranking. Last I checked you can only have one goaltender in the net at a time.

The Avs have Wolski who is better then anyone the Kings, Lightning, Flyers and Canucks have in there system. Thats the only case I could make for it. The Kings,Flyers and Canucks definitly have more depth then the Avs in terms of really good prospects. Wolski is awsome though

Wolski is horribly overrated at these boards. St. Lacroix could have drafted me and I would be a highly regarded prospect

You cant be serious.

Wolski 56 games 47G 128 points 3 time player of the month in the OHL

He carried that team. I guess when hes named the OHL MVP the league will be overrating him.

Wolski even produced 6 points in 9 NHL games.

Go kim just has a hate on for the Avs.

Good rankings. Its nice not to see the knee-jerk reactions for once.

So I'm going to go against my usual type of post defending the tough job it is to rank them and criticise it.

I dont understand how Toronto is ranked 5 places higher than Phoenix. Both have been rightly criticized for their forward depth. Phoenix looks deeper and has more top end talent but seems to have been dropped more for this. Obviously I know a lot more about Phoenix so perhaps its an error of judgement on my part.

But it seems to me that Hanzal, Wheeler, Lisin is a nicer group than Suglobov (how old is this guy now?) and Earl who is more on the level of Porter, Winnik or Latendresse, guys Phoenix has plenty of. On defense Toronto has one of my favorites in Colaiacovo and Ian White is off to a good start but not much else, Phoenix has Stephenson, Yandle, Spiller and Jones, four likely NHLers. Then in goal, Toronto has two good prospects but Phoenix has one of their own too. Rask and Pogge vs LeNeveu. Hmm.

Actually most have. We just don't get caught up in it and complain about the lists like other fanbases. We just look at Paul Ranger and Ryan Craig who are becoming solid NHL players and have had an impact on the big club to justify our prospects. When the Lightning were rated high during the Dudley years, they turned out to be the worst drafts in the Lightning's history. The bad rankings the Lightning have had lately are producing better NHL players than the highly rated ones the Lightning used to have when Dudley was doing the drafting.

Bah! 1st pick in the last five drafts for the Wings, 62nd, 58th, 64th, 97th (used on an overage grinder), and 19th.

Hakan Andersson, Jim Nill, and Ken Holland.

I have never seen the avs system highly rated, yet all they do is produce players.

 

[12# Peter Bondra]

Like Liles, Svatos, Richardson, McCormick etc

Somehow our team produces players most people dont think will be good. I remember Liles once being ranked 5.0. People shouldnt get too mad about these rankings. They are just rankings and that doesnt mean that how teams are ranked = thats how the players will turn out.

I bet nobody thought that TB would have Craig and Ranger in their regular line-up this season.

 

[PecaFan]

Ok, I'll complain.

How the hell are my 'Nucks not #30?

 

[The Fuhr*]

Ok, I'll complain.

How the hell are my 'Nucks not #30?

Bourdon: Top Defensive Prospect
Schnider: Future Number 1 goalie
Edler: Dominating the WHL
Kolltsov: Possible PPQB
Bieska: Number 4 upside. Will be on Nucks bottom pair next season

They have enough talent not to be 30th.
