Aaron Vickers said:He's also got a few years on Montoya, does he not?
NYRangers said:What does age have to do with anything? Younger doesnt equal better.
I agree. There must be an error.Leafaholix said:Can't see Mark Stuart in the top 10.
Ovechkin
Malkin
Fleury
Phaneuf
Suter
Horton
Lehtonen
Zherdev
Vanek
Michalek
?
Which would leave him out of the top 50.

I don't want to sound harsh.. I appreciate these lists. But... aren't you contradicting yourself when you put a 23 year old Ouellet ahead of Montoya?Aaron Vickers said:When talking about POTENTIAL, I don't see the relevence in one player currently being better then another.

No error, when you see Whitney and Grebeshkov in the later stages of the list, Mark Stuart shouldn't be in the top 25.TML said:I agree. There must be an error.
I can't say I agree, Stuart is a solid prospect. But his upside doesn't match up with the likes of Grebeshkov, Whitney, Colaiacovo, etc...TML said:I mean there is an error by not including Mark Stuart in the top 50 prospects list. He is a solid defensive prospect, much like Colaiacovo. I know Stuart isn't a top 10 prospect. IMO, Stuart should've been between 15-35.
I agree with your top 10, Leafaholix.
Stuart was #15 last year. You don't think he is a top 50 prospect, this year?Leafaholix said:I can't say I agree, Stuart is a solid prospect. But his upside doesn't match up with the likes of Grebeshkov, Whitney, Colaiacovo, etc...
Don't know what they based their rankings on, but Grebeshkov was #16 and he fell to #44 after a fine season in the AHL and a stint with the Kings.TML said:Stuart was #15 last year. You don't think he is a top 50 prospect, this year?

OK. Fair enough.Aaron Vickers said:I'm not contradicting myself at all. In fact, I wasn't even a part of the Top 50 Group.
It's entirely possible though, that the group felt the upside of Ouellet is greater thent hat of Montoya.
NYRangers said:You honestly think the other goalies on the list will be leading their Country to the WC at 22? Not only that but be stoning the top NHL'ers at that age? You think the other goalies listed have a higher ceiling?

I just have a problem with Ouellet being number 49 last year, then moving up to number 19 this year. He should be somewhere on the list though.Kubera55 said:I think I have to second this one. . . I'm actually fine with where Montoya got slotted, and that Lundqvist didn't make the list. But Ouellet has hardly dominated the AHL in his lengthy stay there. Other than being a 1st round pick, I really wonder what guys like him (and Ahonen) have that makes them stick on these lists despite years of not really making much noise.
I mean, they are still good prospects, put top 50? Top 25? Ehhhh not so much. At least I don't think so . . .
Well, haven't you caught on... playing in the NHL makes you elite!flyers guy said:I just have a problem with Ouellet being number 49 last year, then moving up to number 19 this year. He should be somewhere on the list though.
