Prospect Criteria:

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.

Tell me who to add next.

Englund, the highest ceiling shut down guy we got in the system.

 

[DrEasy]

Tough round... I went with Englund but Dzingel, Guptill, Wikstrand, Prince and Hogberg are also in that group IMO.

 

[Benjamin]

Cant decide between Wikstrand, Prince, Guptill, Dzingel and Englund.

 

[Lehner]

Hogberg is under-rated!

 

[dan1el]

Englund, but had a tough time deciding between him and Prince. Everything I watch of him I start to like him more.

After them, I'd say it's also pretty even between Wilkstrand, Hogberg and Guptill.

 

[Emerica]

Hesitated between Englund, Guptill and Wikstrand.

Went with Guptill.

 

[Grizz MacArthur]

Went with Wikstrand again, over Englund, Dzingel, Hogberg, Guptill and Driedger.

Add - Miles Gendron

 

[Goat Boy]

Wikstrand. Excited to see what he does this year after 11 points in 19 games in the Elitserien last season. Does anyone know if he's committed to Frölunda for 2014-15? Would be interesting if he turned heads a bit in camp this year.

 

[YouGotAStuGoing]

Out of curiosity, what's making some of you choose Hogberg over Driedger?

 

[Slack]

I knew this round would be spicy. Went with Englund.

 

[SensBrawler]

This one was tougher. Went with Prince.

Add Gendron.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Vikstrand.

Even though I think Guptill should be here. Has top line potential skill and potential.

 

[jbeck5]

So tough. Went with prince but it could have went several other ways.

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

Out of curiosity, what's making some of you choose Hogberg over Driedger?

I like his size and calmness in the net. Experience against men plays into it too. Just been more impressed when I've seen Hogberg more than Dreidger.

Did I mention that he's HUGE?

 

[tony d]

Shane Prince.

 

[Mr Invidious]

Out of curiosity, what's making some of you choose Hogberg over Driedger?

He's a newer, shinier toy.

I'm going with Prince but Driedger is my next selection. Not sure why he's being under-rated. Actually, I just think Hogberg is being over-rated. I mean, how many of us have actually watched him play more than 3 games? I like him from what I've seen and he's a big body, but Driedger has proven more, IMO. He's put up some awesome numbers in the WHL and he's more NHL ready.

 

[Vesa Awesaka]

Dzingel needs some more love

All though Hogberg is newer, they were both drafted at least a year ago, so that philosophy kind of goes away over time (check past prospect rankings), like Dreidger was doing good in the WHL, he regressed this year, while Hogberg got promoted to the SEL so his stock rose.

And if people are just voting "new" Englund would be higher wouldn't he since he is our newest and highest ranked player from this draft?

 

[Smitty26]

i think its pretty criminal that people havent even discussed Lindberg in this area of picks. voting prince, but imo Lindberg could very well be in this spot. Idk why Englund is getting so much hype, he was an off the board pick (only by a little but still), and his skating was nowhere near as good as Dorion was drooling about, while I saw him at dev camp.

 

[Benttheknee]

Where is Hoffman?

 

[SpezDispenser]

Dzingel appears to be quite underrated.

I think you're thinking of Gendron in terms of the great skating D we drafted.

Lindberg definitely does not belong in this spot considering there's a Hobey Baker nominee and a guy who put up great numbers in the A in Prince plus a couple of great goalies. He had a good prospect camp, but let's see him perform in real competitive games before raising his status above some other pretty accomplished players. I remember being fairly impressed with how Culek looked in all his prospect camps and yet the guy was extremely average in the Q.

 

[BonkTastic]

Going with Englund until he's off the board.
