And please do support your statement that Bourdon is #1, come on, please do try.
Every source on prospects rates Bourdon above Edler and the most current report ranks Bourdon as #9 among up and coming NHL players.

Thats actually not the most current, the reall most current one has both Bourdon and Schneider in the 30's
Which means they are rather interchangable, now that Schneider is putting up darn-near epic #'s in a deep playoff run, possibly championship-worthy

Uuhhhh, I was just comparing Bourdon and Edler. I do however, agree that comparing Bourdon and Schneider among Vancouver's blue chip prospects is subjective and is a toss-up.

The fact that Grabner is being checked by Everets top defencemen and that Everet is backed by Irving perfectly explains Grabners play. Plus, Evan Fuller is going through a hot streak, I don't think that he'll continue at this pace.

No, no it doesn't. A player of his nature, and he hasn't stepped up his game at all, and is more of a defensive liability then ever before. He is definitely frustrated, that is for sure. It concerns me, although I question if he is injured at all. Before the playoffs started, he didn't play the last 4-5 games because of the "flu", although I wonder if that was to cover up a prior injury he may have had.
Anyways, his play right now is average, very very average.

Sorry, I should have explained myself better. It doesn't entirely excuse his overall play, but the combination of the things I mentioned and that Fuller is on a hot streak can explain why your comparing the two at the moment, which I believe isn't fair. To judge a player on three games while playing against the best team in the WHL (yes, on paper they are a lot better than the giants) isn't a good way to judge how a player steps up in the playoffs.

And that is Wade Flats in my sig, only because the mask is awesome, not because I think he should play backup to Luongo or anything.
And those videos of Koltsov, I love that celebration!

Is it certain that once a prospect's junior team gets knocked out he goes to the AHL team?

Only if the player decides to make the change himself.

A better answer might be "if the player is under contract with the Canucks". Not all prospects are signed, but if they are, they would be obliged to play where they were directed by the Canucks.
