I disgaree. I think's it fair and right to compare two prospects, despite their age. I that as well as what one has accomplished or not accomplished for their prospective age group matters when proffering who the better prospect currently is. It's essentially in my mind saying who the better player is right now to make a contribution to the squad if you had to call someone up. In my opinion the better prospect to call up in nearly any given situation is always the prospect that is the most ready to play that particular role for the team. In that sense, and context, Vey is a better Canucks prospect than Virtanen, even though the latter was chosen ahead of him in a draft, or because we acquired the former in a trade. Right now...and that's the key point, the better prospects are Vey, Jensen and Corrado for their respective places on the team should a place require filling by their presence. No one else is ready to do that, and thus aren't better prospects. They may have better prospects because of their projections, but projections and reality tend to collide at the pro-levels. It's those who excel at the pro levels who ought to be thought of more highly than those who haven't had a sniff even of that level yet.
