NHL Graduates from 2015 list: 3
1. Ehlers
10. Chiarot
11. Copp
Dropped from the 2014 list:
18. C Pavel Kraskovsky (KHL)
EDIT: So only four new faces on the list (3 2016 draftees plus Poolman). This is the lowest turnover since the team moved here. Next year should see a lot of new names though with all the expected graduations coming.
Going through all this, it's funny how Morrissey has been the 2nd to 4th highest rated prospect since he was drafted in 2013 and Comrie's been 9th for 3 straight years after debuting at 11th. Petan forever around 5th spot. Hellebuyck with 3 straight years in the Top 3.
Highest riser: Poolman +7 (unlisted to 14th)
Farthest faller: Kostalek -7
