This is wrong.....He should rank right behind Gallagher and Holland should not be in the top10 instead of Dietz or Ellis, just saying...
It starts with The Hockey News consulting with each NHL team to determine an order of the top prospects in that organization. Once a master list of 30 top 10's is established, we ask the talent evaluators to rank the top 50 prospects from the 300 candidates with a five to ten year projected outlook. 15 scouts participated in this year's exercise and a spreadsheet does the number crunching. The voting system is weighted to give the top 10 prospects sequentially more balloting points than those prospects ranked 11-50.
A little confused with leblanc's placement on that list. I guess this says that the organization is slowly losing confidence in his ability to either produce, stay healthy or both.
I still would like to see what Kristo brings to the table, at the pro level. I'm not going to count him out yet.
And agree on Holland, I've seen the bulldogs play live a few times and he was practically invisible. That reminds I took a video of a goal that gallagher scored a little while ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RNYbTyENqI

Forgot to mention, we're ranked 13th overall with a grade of B.
Straight blow to my face when I say Leblanc is a top 3 prospect in our organisation.
This screams: he wont get a chance. I hope they get it together... How are Holland, Bournival and to a certain point collberg/hudon considered better prospects than him... Collberg is not having a good year like Leblanc, Hudon slowed down quite a bit, Bournival is playing great but I don't see him as a superior player at the same level... I think the ''what have you done for me lately'' syndrome is high.
SEL is better than the AHL.
Not to mention, 18 year olds are not 22 year olds.
I think it's harsh when people write off Leblanc, I don't think he's a particularly great offensive prospect but he showed enough last year to make me think this season he was injured, but it's perfectly fair to expect more from Leblanc at 22 than Collberg and Hudon at 18, or even 20 year olds Bournival and Holland playing against adults for the first time in their career.
Is it really ? Most of the ahl is full of kids 21-25 trying to take it to the next level and who will probably succeed and some veteran who will never have a shot at it and the SEL is full of the latter.SEL is better than the AHL.

I wouldn't have Holland in my top ten. Leblanc, Kristo, Dietz and Ellis should all be higher than him. Just don't see anything about his game that says "NHLer".

Since Top 10 list came from inside the Habs organization, doesn't sound good for Leblanc.
Not at all.
List came from Habs front office. Them to put Holland and Bournival higher, both had disappointing years. Leblanc a first round pick, they would cut Leblanc lot of slack. Doesn't sound like they hold him in high esteem.
Who makes these rankings?

From THN:
So, our top 10 list came from a member of the organization, we just don't know who. Bergevin? Dudley? Carriere? Timmins? Jankowski? Benning? etc. Who knows, but it came from a member of the org.
