1.) have atleast 1 game breaking prospect in goal, on D and at Forward as well as alot of depth easil #1 in my eyes
2.) fantastic depth and very strong at all positions, their defensive prospects are very studworthy
3.) led by a couple of guys taken 5th overall in Strome, and Niederreiter, there prospect pool looks like it could help them to a contending team in a few years, lacking a good goalie prospect
4.) great defenseive prospects coming up the lines, and a few good forwards, lacking a pure scorer, both in the prospect pool and the entire organization
5.) elite offensive prowess, along with a couple stud goalies and solid D, this is gonna be one scary team
6.) have a solid mix of everything, good goalies, couple studs on offense, some great PMDs and they now added the meanstreak of Siemens, and leadership of Lando
7.) one of the top prospects out there with Granlund, the addition of coyle, phillips, and brodin has this group lookin pretty fantastic
8.) despite losing schenn they still have a wealth of great young up n comers
9.) good prospects at every position, Erixon really took this prospect pool to the next level
10.) RNH is their only guy projecting to play on the top line, but he is an elite talent and there is some depth in the organization with Klefbom and Petry
11.) their prospect pool would without a doubt be the best if not for the kessel trade, but its still pretty good with depth at every position
12.) added a big 2-way centre at the draft, had a good group of prospects already, looks like they could make another cup run with these guys comin up
13.) some great 2-way forwards comin up the pipelines
14.) Schenn, and Coturier, need i say more?
15.) with the addition of adam larsson this group is starting to look real scary

Great list, I agree with you. I might move Oilers up to 7 though.

That's something I find slightly amusing myself. I feel I don't have enough individual insight to put up my own rankings, since I would end up doing so based on hype and the amount of information I have come across most prospects. That, however, has little to do with their quality. We probably do lack some more "sexy" picks. We probably also are guilty of not pimping our prospects enough.Etem, Holland, Palmieri, Vatanen, Schultz, Smith-Pelley, Gibson, Rakell, McMillan, Bobkov, Deschamps, Clark, Bonino, Maroon, Karlsson, Friberg

I understand that Ottawa has a top notch prospect pool, but given their current ranking of 16, I do not think their HF rank will put them into the top 5. Top 10 quite likely.
Their weakness is in net. Sure they have Lehner, but they literally have nobody after that. Yes, that means if your are between the ages of 18 and 25 and sign as a goaltender with Ottawa, you would become their 2nd ranked prospect.
This single fact will likely keep them from a top spot in the HF rankings.
Solid list but I'd put Ottawa number 1 because Filatov is still considered a prospect.
