Prospect Info: Who is the Canucks #1 prospect?

[Wisp]

Corrado has proven he's fit enough to play in the NHL, but that doesn't say what kind of player he'll be anymore than Horvat. We didn't really get any definitive answers on that in his time here, either than that he's surer to stick. It didn't say much about his toolset either.

Do I really need to list off the top 10 pick busts to prove that you're wrong?

A person could just as easily find 5th round picks who have played 7 NHL games before busting as well. I like Corrado and think he's got a bright future, but let's not say that 7 games makes him a "proven" NHLer. At the end of the day, Nathan McKinnon hasn't "proven" he can play in the NHL either, yet their isn't a single GM who would trade him for the more proven Corrado. Top prospect is a combination of projection and surety; not simply one or the other.
