   This game will be tough, but not as tough as being an Ottawa Senator in [Scott Wheeler’s Prospect Pool](https://theathletic.com/5040065/2024/01/30/nhl-prospect-rankings-2024?source=user-shared-article) countdown. Still no sniff of Detroit :). List continues in two tiers for now, with the Sens Shit Tier in the inline replies along with Wheeler’s criteria.

   ***Per Scott, this is a tier of teams that are more or less jumbled around League average. Unlike the Senators, who are just unfathomably worse.***

   #Tier: Rise and Fall
   *Mostly ships passing in the night, heading in opposite directions up and down the standings. Or at least, that’s what’s starting to happen, but this description may change as the standings are revealed.*

   * **24. [Florida Panthers](https://theathletic.com/5214492/2024/02/07/panthers-nhl-prospect-pool-rankings-2024?source=user-shared-article)**: Not a lot of top and talent here though, and Spencer Knight is back in the mix.

   * **23. [Vegas Golden Knights](https://theathletic.com/5214501/2024/02/08/golden-knights-nhl-prospect-pool-rankings-2024?source=user-shared-article)**: No high end talent and missing RHD, but better than most recent champions. Had a bunch of maybes at goal, too.

   * **22. [New Jersey Devils](https://theathletic.com/5235251/2024/02/09/devils-nhl-prospect-pool-rankings-2024?source=user-shared-article)**: Bunch of Meh, except that this still includes Nemec, so barring a miracle they’re really falling. Should be lower but c’est la vie. This is what happens when tons of elite talent makes the jump.

   * **21. [Dallas Stars](https://theathletic.com/5239029/2024/02/10/stars-nhl-prospect-pool-rankings-2024?source=user-shared-article)**: Stankoven is near elite at the top. Borque a talented 2nd in line. Takes from there since Johnson made the jump, but a respectable pool for aSC contender.

   * **20. [Washington Capitals](https://theathletic.com/5242141/2024/02/11/capitals-nhl-prospect-pool-rankings-2024?source=user-shared-article)**: Dangerous combo of mediocre NHL team and Pool. Everyone Loves Leonard, except apparently me. Mirorchsnrines ichneoichencko will play NHL minutes. Your guess is as good. As any after that. This team may be in for a painful rebuild.

   * **19. [New York Rangers](https://theathletic.com/5252641/2024/02/12/rangers-nhl-prospect-pool-rankings-2024?source=user-shared-article)**: Strangely high number of LWs and youve got to go 7 deep before finding defense. But at the top, Gabe Perreault continues his quest to prove at least 20+ teams in the league were fools to not draft him.

   * **18. [Vancouver Canucks](https://theathletic.com/5247687/2024/02/13/canucks-nhl-prospect-pool-rankings-2024?source=user-shared-article)**: Decent strides and some top talent (Lekkerimaki and Willander). Overall pool that mostly moved up from last year bc of a good draft and good development. For me, its still weird to see Raty – at one brief point in early discussion for #1OA in his draft – mentioned as a tertiary NHL’r.

   Anyone else feel like this is the first playoff game? I know we got 30 games left in the season but if we win these next two it feels like a lock

   Annual athletic wings player poll came out and for teammate you trust with the aux cord, tied for second was joe veleno and « not joe veleno ». Which I thought was hilarious
