Craig Button's top 30 prospects

[dash]

can be found here - Here's the top 20:

1. Max Domi
2. Sam Reinhart
3. Sam Bennett
4. Andrei Vasilevsky
5. Nikolaj Ehlers
6. Leon Draisaitl
7. Christian Dvorak
8. Teuvo Teravainen
9. Josh Morrissey
10. Travis Sanheim
11. Anthony Mantha
12. Darnell Nurse
13. Michael Dal Colle
14. Sam Morin
15. Dylan Larkin
16. William Nylander
17. Nic Petan
18. Julius Honka
19. S. Gostibehere
20. Oliver Bjorkstrand

Now, Max Domi had a fine WJHC tourney, but I don't know if I would vault him to number one in the prospects list.

I wouldn't trade Nylander for Domi for instance

But I bet you would trade Fredrik Gauthier for Max Domi

Not sure I'd trade Bjorkstrand for him either.

 

[puckhead]

Remind me of Craig button's drafting record again?

25 goals and 48 points in only 32 games for Portland this season - He looks like a gooder to me.

What's worse, Marc Savard for Ruslan Zainullin or letting Martin St. Louis walk away for nothing?

Looked at the rest of the list, Mike Reilly is really that well thought of? I mean I know the Jackets like him, but I didn't think he'd land inside any top 30 list...

A friend of a friend played for St. John's against St. Louis and he went to watch him play for Calgary against the Leafs in Toronto when he was back in town. He basically said "guy plays 20 minutes in the AHL, kills everybody and gets two points a game. They call him up here, play him 5 minutes and wonder why hes not scoring. Makes no fucking sense at all"

This is turrible. Just turrible.

So Domi is all of a sudden a better prospect than Reinhart?

And no offense because I like his game and he's my kind of player, but has Sam Bennett played a competitive shift this year? With the progress made by others you'd think he would drop a little.

And Dvorak THAT high. Ahead of Nylander, among others? That whole London team is feeding off of each other and have inflated scoring stats.

This list sucks.

Button's love for Sanheim and Morin is insane.

I use to love watching St. Louis in the AHL!

In Button's defense, every team in the league passed on him for virtually nothing as he went undrafted.

Yeah, but when Button passed on him his resume was even stronger.

Edmonton's third best prospect is a goalie. Priceless.

 

[evolver115]

Did Derrick Pouliot not make Button's 20 because he made his NHL debut, or does Button just not know who he is? I fail to see how Pouliot isn't ranked around guys like Morin, Nurse, Gostisbehere and Morrissey. Pouliot is pretty darn good.

If Pierre made the list, he'd be #1.

By the way, you're forgetting (blocking out maybe?) JS Giguere for a second rounder.

D'oh, you're right, although maybe the Flames don't land Kipper a couple of years later.

And maybe they don't waste years of having the game's best scorer and the game's best goaltender simultaneously?

Gelinas scored the winner in game 6 of the 2004 SCF series, but the league didn't look at the ABC replay.
