So are these the teams without any?
Buffalo
Calgary
Dallas
Philadelphia
Tampa Bay
I'll give it a shot: not in the top 25.Lindgren at this point is hard to rank.

That Hilarous how Price get underrated ...
Bourdon before Price ???
THOSE ARE NHL PROSPECT.The best CHL players don't make them the best NHL'er. Yandle is fast but very small for a defenseman et maybe they don't know if he's gonna adapt to the nhl level.
Remember corey Locke was the CHL player of the year and he had put more points than perry ect...but he was not on the top list because his game doesn't translate to the nhl.
I'm almost positive Montreal did not trade up to get Price...
You know what I find funny?
All the years when Smid was an Anaheim prospect he never made the list, at the last release he wasn't even listed as an honorable mention, and now he jumps all the way to 31?? I always thought he should be on the list, although probably in the 40's, but what was the selection committee's process here?

Nothing funny about that at all. Smid's move to North America allowed for more viewings and it doesn't hurt he played well in his first year with the Pirates.
In comparison, a previously unranked Matt Carle is expected by most to be in the top 25 after a Hobey season and a good late season NHL callup. Shea Weber (no. 50 last year) could be a top 15 pick. Big seasons, big exposure = rankings.
No conspiracy here...recall how many Ducks were ranked in the top 25 last year? I'll give you a hint...it was 3.

I figured Brian Lee would be in the top 50, but not in the top 25, so I don't expect him to be on the next list, although it would be a nice surprise.
He could make the top 25, and if he does then I am wrong but I find it disapointing that he continues to be ignored around here. I would think being drafted 9th overall would compell at least a few people to watch a game of his, but I guess not. Playing in college, being stuck behind JJ and EJ on the world junior teams and not being able to attend NHL training camps makes it extremely hard for a player like him to be noticed. Coming from someone who has watched him play, he 100% deserves to be at least somewhere on this list.
Cam Ward is still listed as a prospect on the Carolina page. It will be interesting to see where he falls into this list.
I don't care how many Anaheim players were ranked that high, they had to be on the list. Smid did not, and by the way he was playing in North America when the last list came out and was absolutely nowhere to be found, not even on the honorable mention list. Now he goes to Edmonton and becomes a hot commodity?Nothing funny about that at all. Smid's move to North America allowed for more viewings and it doesn't hurt he played well in his first year with the Pirates.
