THE RULES

WHO IS A PROSPECT: http://www.hockeysfuture.com/whatmakesaprospect

HOW TO RANK PROSPECTS: Based on their value in a hypothetical trade or waiver draft. This takes into consideration a prospect's ceiling, how close he's to making it, his health, work ethic, the whole deal. Imagine there was a prospect waiver draft and you could keep only one prospect. That guy is our #1 prospect. Then imagine we had one more waiver protection. That guy is our #2 prospect.

Going with McIlrath again. He's now our #8 defenseman, ahead of Allen and Kostka, and is improving rapidly even since the Fall. He'll be ready to play in the top-6 next season, if a spot opens up.

Add Hrivik. It's a travesty that Lindberg is already placed and Hrivik is not in the poll. He's a similar quality player of the same exact age. If anything, Hrivik has been better than Lindberg the last month. He's ready to play in the NHL today if a spot opens up.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

McIlrath, add Hrivik.

 

[Net Front Presence]

Shestyorkin. Add Hrivik.

 

[Beacon]

By the way, the only reason I am not voting for Shesterkin, Halverson or Skapski yet is that goalies are the highest risk of any prospects. Not only do many collapse despite a promising early career (Corey Hirsch, Cloutier, Asplund, etc), but some crap out in the NHL after a good season or two (e.g., Pet Detective).

Between one of them, let's hope we have Hank's replacement down the line. I like Shesterkin's potential.

That's what I think: one of them may become a starter one day with Shesterkin the most likely one IMO.

McIlrath, add Kristo already

Adam Herman also released his 36-25 prospect rankings this morning. An interesting read on some of our lower profile/longshot prospects.

Hrivik. That dude is going to be an NHLer. Just not here.

 

[eco's bones]

McIlrath. Allen.

Not a big fan of Hrivik. He's picked it up lately but 4 goals half way through the season. If he has so much trouble scoring at the AHL level--I don't see him scoring much at the NHL level. So what's he going to be a 4th liner?--replacing Glass?--that's okay but not replacing Miller, Fast or Stempniak.

 

[Beer League Sniper]

Hrivik plays a very project-able NHL game. I'm just not sold on him making it with our depth. He could probably walk onto an Edmonton or Buffalo and give them quality 4th line minutes. Here? Not so much. Too many players ahead of him. It's only going to get worse as guys like Lindberg, Duclair, Buchnevich, and Haggerty are ready for NHL minutes.

I wouldn't put Lindberg in the top 10 at this point. He has not improved in his second, AHL season. I also have Graves considerably ahead of McIlrath who like Lindberg, has also regressed this year.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Shestyorkin is the biggest prospect left. Hope he can keep developing.

Add Hrivik

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Halverson. Again.

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

Halverson, add Skapski.

 

[kovazub94]

Graves has been on the steepest by far development curve out of all eligible prospects. Add Hrvik, I guess. I just hate how low is his SOG average.

 

[Beacon]

Hrivik. That dude is going to be an NHLer. Just not here.

Why not? He can replace Stempniak next season. The kid is only 23 years old and keeps improving. He's good in all 3 zones at the AHL level, though in the NHL he's unlikely to put up any significant amount of points. He's kind of like Dominic Moore but without the faceoff ability, which he won't need if he plays in the wing.

 

[Mac n Gs]

Halverson, add Hrivik

 

[NYR Viper]

McIlrath. I haven't been paying much attention to these as I have been away but Lindberg over McIlrath his a mistake.

Add Skapski

In what alternate universe did McIlrath regress this year? Do you watch the Pack?
