top 100 NHL prospects

[juliansteed]

The Wings actually have 4 on the list.

Brendan Smith 14th
Gustav Nyqvist 26th
Tomas Jurco 44th
Tomas Tatar 55th

That's more than a number of teams who've sucked for the past 20 years in comparison. I'm actually surprised Goalie Petr Mrazek isn't on the list. He's one of the best G prospects in the world as far as I'm concerned.

Cool. I did a quick scan but didn't see Jurco I'm glad to see he made the list. I guess I missed him because I really only started looking after seeing Charlie Coyle. I'm a big fan of both of them but after watching them both last year I'm really surprised Jurco is ahead of Coyle.

That makes 7 Sea Dogs (current or former) on the list.

5. Jonathan Huberdeau (FLA)
29. Stanislav Galiev (WAS)
44. Tomas Jurco (DET)
48. Charlie Coyle (MIN)
53. Zack Phillips (MIN)
57. Nathan Beaulieu (MTL)
68. Simon Despres (PIT)

Five Sens prospects on the list but I question Pronman when Silfverberg is only 51st after winning the SEL MVP and playoff MVP at 21. That puts him behind guys like Grimaldi, Jarnkrok (who was his teammate), Palmieri, Rakell (lol).

Also on the Sens note I was surprised to see Shane Prince on this list and Stefan Noesen not. I love Prince's game and I see him developing into a top 6 forward. Noesen, though, looks every bit like a Dustin Brown type of player.

Other issues I have are:
-the difference between Ryan Strome and Ty Rattie is NOT 9th to 80th. They are similar players.
- As DBI pointed out... Kabanov is WAY too high.
- Tervainen is also too high.

Also at Tim Erixon over Ryan Murray, Matt Dumba and Morgan Reilly (Reilly less so because of his injury and the stench of Leaf failure already being upon him).

I just hope Jon Merrill doesn't turn into the next Schultz and bolt for another team.

Damn, he would look so good in the Winged Wheel...

Happy Gilmores going to go ballistic again.

Coach: Gilmore, I called your number didn't I?

Gilmore: No...No you didn't.

Coach: Oh well, Better luck next year Ha ha ha ha !!

i think Kevin Roy (anaheim) will surprise some people. if he can continue to develop in college these next few years he will be great. he's the best player i've ever seen in juniors...great vision, hands, and he can finish. maybe a little small, but i would compare him to a datsyuk.

That Tim Erixon, he's not one to shy away from the rough stuff...
