Josh Bloom
Lucas Forsell
Cole McWard (I guess Hirose won’t ever play in the NHL)
Elias Pettersson
Jacob Truscott
**Listed in alphabetical order*
Meh, he’s the guy in 2018 who ranked Mittelstadt, Zadina, and Henrik Borgstrom above PETTERSSON, Quinn Hughes, and Brady Tkachuk, Kravstov (17) above Makar (20), Suzuki 34th, Dobson 36th, Bouchard 45th, Adam Fox 64th, Batherson 70th, and had Rasmus Andersson, Cirelli, and Ryan McLeod unranked.
Plus he had Woll, Primeau, and DiPietro above Ullmark and Oettinger.
Point being, he has a lot of misses. He’s just one guy. Just bcuz we’re ranked 24th by him means nothing, really.
One of the interesting things about this list is, it captures players like Podkolzin/Hoglander who on a lot of lists are considered graduated.
I think our pipeline isn’t good and needs beefing up, but also I really don’t like Pronman’s biases. How should I feel?
This is where our development team needs to show their worth. Get a few of them reaching their perceived upside, while getting a few more of them to exceed theirs, and the team will have actual solid depth. The gamebreakers are already in place, just need solid depth that aren’t all smurfs.
Nils Hoglander is projected to play NHL games?
More showstopping analysis courtesy of our friends at The Athletic. I wonder what they think of Hunter Shinkaruk
People here complaining about the article’s black/white criteria for who is included is a sign that no one disagrees with the placing.
Hey! An abysmal prospect pool (and win/loss record) is a small price to pay for having given Aquilini about 8 shots at 2 games of playoff revenue!
Honestly this managements ability to take from 30th ranked prospects to 24 , isn’t great- buuut I whole heartedly believe we are taking the right direction with getting more prospects.
Much better than JB did… low bar I know.
God article, fair assessments.
The one thing I hate about Pronman’s rankings is how the Tool Grade system is displayed.
For example: *Average” on this scale means the tool projects as NHL average, which is meant as a positive, not a criticism.*
If you have to explain your system you have a bad system.
Just put 7/10 or 4/5 stars or something that makes more sense and is more visually intuitive.
I’m surprised his editors haven’t changed that part.
