Islanders 2018/19 Prospect Rankings - #11

[CodeE]

Rounding out the top 10 of the rankings is a Russian named Ruslan. Although undersized, many scouts from Russia, including a whole bunch in his HFboards prospect thread rave about his "beyond unreal" skills (direct quote from the thread) at playing hockey.



Anatoly Golyshev has been added to the poll with 14 "add" votes. Other prospects receiving votes:

Jenkins - 5
Cockereill - 1
Durandeau - 1
Pivonka - 1
Song - 1

Quenneville again, add Jenkins.

Just as a side note, it’s really amazing to see just how many guys we still have left who have a shot at becoming solid players, or have a legit shot at at least getting a chance at the NHL level. We’re already out of the top ten but I still see at least five players who I feel have a chance.

It was a very strong draft for us, especially up top. People like Jenkins and Pivonka have a chance. That really gives our system a boost.

One more killer 2019 draft and we could build quite the solid core for a decade.

After 6 this list has gotten weird. We have a bunch of just drafted project prospects (like all orgs do) ahead of more humdrum middle to bottom 6 D prospects that are good bets to have long NHL careers. The projects are ahead of players that were projects but have actually hit their expected growth points, and that bugs me. Vande Sompel, Wotherspoon, and Aho in whatever order should be 7,8,9.

Shiny new toy syndrome is very real.

Shiny new toy syndrome is very real.

Or maybe the other specs are just better? There’s also the fact the older specs have had a chance to show what they’ve got at higher levels. If they haven’t done a ton to be overly impressive, they’re simply going to fall behind guys who were just drafted since they have more potential.
