What Makes a Prospect?
A player will be considered a prospect until he meets the following criteria:
  • If a prospect is a skater (forward, defenseman) and has played in 65 NHL games or more before the completion of the season of his 24th birthday; or, if a goaltender has played in 45 NHL games before the completion of the season of his 24th birthday, that player will be considered graduated to the NHL. Conversely, if a player completes the season of his 24th birthday without passing those milestones, then that player will no longer be considered a prospect by Hockey’s Future, regardless of the player’s status with his NHL club.
  • An NCAA player who signs his first contract at or above the age of 22 has three years to meet the above criteria (65/45), while those NCAA players that turn pro under the age of 22 will be subjected to the criteria above.
  • European players who sign their first NHL contract at or above the age of 22 have three seasons from the time they sign that contract to meet the above criteria. Those European players below the age of 22 that have signed a NHL contract will be subjected to the criteria in section one.
    NOTE: These are general guidelines and should be followed the majority of the time but certain players may still be listed as prospects if circumstances warrant.

Rumors are Lindbom to Kristianstads and Ragnarsson to Almtuna, both in Allsvenskan. Similarly, Tarnstrom speculated to be moving to Rögle which would be a good move for him.

Ragnarsson back to his old team. Nice.

I remember Lindbom being linked to Kristianstad and 1 or 2 Liiga teams a year ago but he stayed with Mora. I think Kristianstad is a nice opportunity for him.

Tärnström to Rögle is a move I don't expect too much from. Going to a top team in SHL is nice, but it's hard to crack that line-up.

Tarnstrom the articles I've seen have said he would start in J20. Rögle has a good development program so it could be good for him.

It just feels like a step backwards for him. I rather have him play in Allsvenskan but we will see what happens. Still 3 years to decide.

Tarnstrom is probably the one pick in 2020 that I would've done differently.

As a whole, the 2020 draft was as close to a draft I would've lead as I'm likely to find.

But Tarnstrom wouldn't have been one of my picks on a personal level.

Yeah, I don't see anything that wows me. He's a nice kid, don't get me wrong. But I just don't "feel" it

The thought process was that Tarnstrom was a kid, in the same general vein as guys taken in the first who could develop into a two-way support player --- albeit a few stations behind at this point. Basically the same mindset of Lundkvist vs. Boqvist; Jones vs. York, etc.

I think Tarnstrom would have been a good pick around where Berard was picked, or later. He was worthy of a pick, just not a 3rd rounder. But you often say that looking at it that way is kinda pointless cause they are still part of the same haul, considering that theoretically Berard was well worth a 3rd round pick. So if we start playing those games we can just swap Berard and Tarnstrom in our minds and it would be fine. I have no problem with Tarnstrom as a prospect in general. If anyone was a wasted pick it would be Rempe, especially considering the names still on the board then.

Personally, I can live with Rempe at that point. At that point the dreams often outweigh anything remotely close to the result. I was hoping to take Valade though.

It’s funny, Garand, Vierling and Berard were all kids I would’ve been fine with in the third. So getting them after Tarnstrom was awesome.

But I probably would’ve taken Biondi, Pytlik or Nybeck there. Or one of the prospects we took later, and then maybe someone like Powell.

Rempe looks like a garbage player to me. Watching highlights of his draft year and then a couple of his games this season, he stands out literally only for being tall.

Assuming the Rangers went ‘bloodlines’ there.

Regarding Rempe, it's interesting. I get a real feel from the last couple of offseasons that the org made a concerted effort to buy lottery tickets in late round picks/UDFA signings on the chance of developing an absolute beast or two to play in the bottom 6. And so far, there's still some hope for Edström and Ruesschoff, which on top of Schneider and Cuylle, actually gives them quite a bit of beef in the prospect ranks.

Kinda ironic given JG and JD got fired at least in part for the team not having enough muscle.

It’s something that comes up, but not nearly as much as people think.

The reality is that a lot of kids in hockey have bloodlines, at some semi-high or higher level.
I’m sure they wouldn’t pick an obviously inferior player because of bloodlines but it seems like it’s something of a tie-breaker for the Rangers (and probably other teams too). And in the later rounds there are a lot of ties, players grouped together.

It is something they consider - with the idea being their parents supplemented they're training and the kids have an idea of what being a pro entails.

Same here. I'm a Thunderbirds fan and did not understand the pick AT ALL. Nothing against Rempe but the pick made no sense to me. I want to be excited about my favourite pro-team drafting someone from my favourite junior team but first Gropp and now Rempe aren't really filling me with joy :laugh:

Unfortunately that's not surprising.

Once you start getting into the 6th and 7th rounds you're looking at maybe one or two attributes you hope manifest into a few more with time.

Yeah I'm not knocking the pick. He had an interesting profile and if, somehow, his skating took off, you'd have an interesting prospect. I mean his offensive instincts aren't great but the size/strength combo could be great if he could skate.

To your point, if he's 6'0, 185, he isn't getting drafted, but yeah there's the hope that some time to cook maybe gives you a unique option down the line.

A kid I really liked in that range was Reid Valade.

Yeah, the names I was hoping for were Fontaine and Johannesson. Get kids who are a year older, a year further into their development.
