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.

Add Skapski who's doing great in Hartford.

Voted for Graves because he is getting great reports about him.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Halverson again.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Went with Haggerty. Feeling good about his chances of making the team.

Add Nejezchleb

 

[Let Blaine Die]

Went with Igor as it looks like he is starting to get chances playing for SKA St. Petersburg. Also looked good at the World Juniors.

Add Skapper.

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

Halverson. Add Skapski.

 

[bmoak]

Shesterkin. Add Skapski.

 

[darko]

Graves, add Skapper

 

[eco's bones]

Halverson. Allen.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

FWIW, I think Shesty and Halverson have roughly equal upsides. However, if that's the case, I'm going with the NA guy every time. If all things are pretty much equal, that's an easy decision for me.

 

[E-Train]

Graves, add Skapper

 

[Net Front Presence]

Shestyorkin. Add Skapski.

 

[FLYLine27*]

Shesterkin, again.

Shesterkin IMO has a much higher upside. Halverson's elite puck handling skills causes people to overrate him goaltending ability. I could care less if they can play the puck or not (see Lundqvist)

 

[Doctyl]

Haggerty really that low? I haven't followed his AHL season at all, but he looked good in preseason.

Hags 2.0 is God awful away from the puck. You think Kristo is bad, Haggerty has to improve a lot to catch up with Monte.

 

[Gospel of Prospal]

I'll go with the second rounder, Halvy

 

[Machinehead]

Quite a drop after Lindberg.

 

[Joey Bones]

I went Hrivik because I feel he is most ready for NHL action, but upside probably would go with Shesty.

Add Skapski

 

[Radek27]

Graves, add Kristo

 

[Charlie Conway]

Between Shesty and Graves. Shesty looked good in the WJC and has done well all around. Still, throwing in my vote for Graves because I think he's done incredibly well with the opportunities he has been given. Still a way to go to turn pro, but he has very good potential upside.

So:

Graves, add Skaps.

 

[Raspewtin]

Shesterkin, add Skapski.

 

[Radek27]

Since no one else is even nominating him I assume everyone sees Kristo as a bottom of the barrel prospect? Second year pro who had a very promising season last year should be in the top 10 with this prospect list.

Most don't believe he'll play in the NHL.

 

[Beacon]

Quite a drop after Lindberg.

I disagree. Hrivik is the same age and just as good as Lindberg, while McIlrath will likely be more valuable than both combined when all is said and done.
