With the graduation of several top prospects, the Pittsburgh Penguins fall into the lower tier of prospect pools.

No offense to the great Johan Dahlberg, but I think he was mixed up with Stralman there.
With Anton Stralman being the top defensive prospect from Sweden, and maybe one of the top defensive prospects overall as per some people. Also, with Jiri Tlusty who is not at all a bad prospect. Also, with the likes of Justin Pogge and Nikolai Kulemin, I think Toronto should be higher. I have never agreed with HF articles.
I just dont understand how Calgary has a better farm system than Toronto. No offense to Calgary's farm, but we clearly have better high end talent than them, IMO.

I find the flames,trashers and canucks as too high and leafs,penguins as too low
Which teams do you feel Vancouver should be ahead of and why do you feel that way?How are the Canucks not high?
Bourdon is well documented but Edler is a stud and possibly better than Bourdon.
Schneider is one of the best goalie prospects in the league.
We also have Koltsov and Rahimi for good measure behind as our #3 and #4 defensive prospects.
The offensive pool isn't great but its getting better.. Grabner, Raymond (do not know why he was not mentioned in the article......), Simek and Hansen all have potential.
Leland Irving is almost as good as Pogge
Dustin Boyd > Tlusty, Earl, and Kulemin
Mark Giordano > any D Toronto can throw at him.
I really don't get why people just start listing their prospects when it comes time to criticize this list - do you honestly think guys like Wozniewski, Sifers and Kronwall are all that significant? You list them off as though they're all key prospects but there literally isn't a team in the league who can't list similar prospects with similar potential.And Toronto's defense depth is very nice with prospects like Anton Stralman (who some Sweden fans have even gone as far as to compare him to the legendary Niklas Lidstrom, although I tend to ignore comparisons, but that is ONE HELL of a comparison), Staffan Kronwall (could be a number 5 defenseman right now if it wasnt for Toronto D depth), and even Andy Wozniewski, Jamie Sifers etc.
Atlanta is too high (is it just me or does this often seem to be the case?) and I'm suprised NYI is in the top 15 after trading O'Marra, Nilsson, and Grebeshkov to the Oilers.
