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.

[Oil For The Boys]

Picked Englund, is Borowiecki not eligible for this? Cause I would pick him next. Or Guptill

 

[Grizz MacArthur]

Wikstrand.

Add - Robert Baillargeon - Protector of the Realm and Lord of the Seven Kingdoms.

 

[Benjamin]

Gonna go with Englund based off of how much the scouts liked him.

 

[SensBrawler]

Englund

Add Sdao

 

[Xspyrit]

IMO, Dzingel and Wikstrand, as well as Driedger and Guptill should easily be in front of Englund, who hasn't played a pro game yet.

 

[18Hossa]

Shiny new toy syndrome

 

[Qward]

I voted for Englund based on the high praise he got from Dorion.

Englund and Wikstrand both have 19 pro games. Which is more than the others.

 

[Vesa Awesaka]

I feel like Guptill is being overrated. Why pick him over Dzingel

 

[ATdaisuki]

like last time, voting dzingel

 

[Lehner]

just bumping this so its above #7, worried ppl arent seeing it.

 

[Real Smart Sens Fan]

Both staff from Dallas and Ottawa identify Nick Paul as the top prospect in the Spezza trade. One development camp later, and the other guy will likely be 4-5 spots higher on our prospect rankings. Very sensical (pun intended).

Englund and Wikstrand both have 19 pro games. Which is more than the others.

And this is why when stat watching, one should always use elite prospects rather than hockeydb!

 

[ZekeA]

Ryan Dzingel.

Liked what I saw out him in 10 games last season...............

Let's see how he develops after a season of pro coaching and playing in Binghamton............

 

[BonkTastic]

Voting Englund until he gets in.

[Senscore]

He is indeed the tallest dwarf.


Voted Englund. There are a few close competitors though.

Really? I hadn't seen that; do you have a link? Not that I'd be surprised given our scouting staff's affinity towards character.

 

[Xspyrit]

Englund and Wikstrand both have 19 pro games. Which is more than the others.

You mean Englund has 19 games in Allsvenskan while Wikstrand played 147 games in that league? While having played 19 more in the SHL...

Thanks for the tip, I'm new

I forgot Djurgarden got relegated. My bad.

 

[Oil For The Boys]

Jim Nill said it in an interview after the trade. I couldn't find a link but he said something along the lines of 'Bryan Murray really did his homework and insisted that Nick Paul be a part of the trade'. I don't think Dallas wanted to trade him.

I saw Paul a few times in North Bay this past season and he's going to be a really good player. Probably the piece from the Spezza trade I'm most excited about.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Vikstrand at this moment is better than Englund. I unno how anyone can tell me otherwise.

He's broken OEL's record for most goals, was Sweden's best D in WJC for Sweden, completely dominated SEL2 league and didnt skip a beat offensively(in same season) in SEL league.

Only other person I can see getting votes ahead of him is Dzingel for his crazy progression last year.

 

[SensAreReligion]

Dzingel. In my opinion he is one of our "under the radar" prospects, i think he is a gem

 

[BonkTastic]

Vikstrand at this moment is better than Englund. I unno how anyone can tell me otherwise.

Of course he is, he has two extra years of development under his belt.

 

[Benttheknee]

Hoffman? He turns 25 in November, is he eligible for the poll?
