[Canucks Prospects: A Look at the Top 10, and a Look at the Future]

Thank you for your input.

@the_grinder: Grenier is a solid prospect, but I believe that the guys I listed all have higher upside. If I had an honorable mentions list, he would be on it.

@Absent_Canuck: I'd like to hear your reasoning for these assumptions. All scouting reports indicate that Virtanen very well could be a 30 goal NHL player, he was one of the best, if not the best, pure goal scorer in his class.

As for Gaunce, like I said, he looks to be a very good 3rd line center.I compared him to Berglund, who has had one 50 point year, but is usually more in the 35-45 range, which is where I project Gaunce.

Demko I agree will be a stud.

Mccann I projected as a Valteri Flipula type player, so I'm not sure what you're getting at.

Shinkaruk I also think has 1st line potental and while Jensen could,he is projected to be more of a 2nd liner.

^ a few of these guys could be with the big club next year. I still consider Jensen a prospect, as he has not broken in with the Canucks full time yet. I would rank Fox in the 12-15 range. He may be good, but he also may be a complete bust. Hard to tell with overagers.

Wow I was way off! The Canucks ended up in the best possible position that they could.

^Good call, I completely forgot about that when I wrote this. I'm not gonna edit the blog post, but thanks for pointing that out.

I assume you mean Kessel on wing above. Also, not convince Big Buff can handle the big ice. He'll definitely get a look though

Spezxa is a great player, don't get me wrong, however I feel that their are just better options than him. He is a great all around player, but is not dynamic enough to play over guys like Duchene or St. Louis in the top-6 or as solid as guys like Perry and Bergeron in the bottom-6.I believe a healthy Nash is a lock, he has performed well for Canada at every international event. Giroux on the other hand, while at the beginning of the season I would have picked him, has played himself off of the team in my opinion. As for Seguin(who is making a strong case for himself) as Lupul, I just see too many better options. Many other players are better two-way players and can match their offensive output. I left Thornton off purely on foodspeed on big ice, not due to lack of skill.

With the news of Stamkos' injury, IF he is not ready to go, who do you guys think takes his roster spot?
