I posted this in the Canucks Top Ten prospects thread, but I was elated when I really thought about all the prospects in our organization already., I thought more people could use positive thoughts on a Monday, so here:
1. Pettersson
2. Hughes
3. Juolevi
4. Demko
5. Dahlen
6. Gaudette
7. Lind
8. Dipietro
9. Woo
10. Gadjovich
It is a good feeling when you have to think hard to make a top 10 list for your prospects. So many dark horses that can steal the show... Lockwood, Brisebois, Jasek, Rathbone etc. not to mention Boeser, Virtanen, and Horvat who are already contributing on the team. If Pettersson can play C in the NHL and be as impactful as he is on RW, we're pretty much set for the rebuild:
Dahlen - Pettersson - Boeser
Gadjovich - Horvat - Lind
Leipsic - Gaudette - Virtanen
Palmu - MacEwen - Lockwood/Jasek
Lockwood/Jasek
Hughes - Tryamkin (another question mark, hopefully he comes back after his KHL contract is done)
Juolevi - Woo
Rathbone - Gudbranson
Brisebois/Stecher
Demko
Dipietro
Many prospects will not reach their potential, but we already have a full cupboard. If JB and company keep doing their thing at next year's draft, then we will really have an overflow of prospects, and we can start making trades for impactful young players like Panarin for example. I'm hoping for just 1 more year of tank, and a chance to draft J. Hughes. After that, I expect management will start to push hard to make the playoffs in the 2019-2020 season, which I believe is the last year for Benning's extension. I would anticipate if management stays the course, then how we do in 2019-2020 will be the deciding factor in whether or not JB gets another extension and enjoys the fruits of his labour, or they bring in another manager to take us to another level.

@Bure_Pavel Yes, that was a lineup strictly based on prospects and each of these guys will come into the league at different times so players will have different levels of experience. Also, like I said in my post, some of these guys could potentially get traded for young RFAs as early next year's draft (probably not until the summer though).

@Bure_Pavel but people whined when Benning brought in bottom 6 vets through UFA.
Lots of good centers in the upcoming draft. Being able to utilize EP on both the wing and at center will make Green's job a lot easier.

I'm playing NHL 16 be a GM with the Colorado Avalanche, and my lineup got too good. Here it is:
Landeskog - Duchene - Kucherov
Saad - Mackinnon - Nylander
Lemieux - Soderberg - Hansen
Haberstich - Chipchura - Dorsett
Klefbom - Pouliot
Chychrun - Burns
Meszaros - Barrie
Bobrovsky
Pickard
Haberstich is a young LW PWF, I always draft him in the third round because he usually develops into a good player (cheating I know). I need to make a trade but I don't know who to get rid of. My team is too young now so I'd probably want to trade a young'un for a vet. Mackinnon isn't progressing all that well, he's still scoring at a 2nd liner's pace. So maybe get rid of him for an upgrade to get a right handed 2C checker. We are the highest scoring team in the league, 2nd in GA, top 3 in PP%, top 5 in PK%. I've got Rantanen and another LW prospect, as well as 2 LDs knocking on the door for a taste in the big league. Pouliot is the leading Dman in scoring in the league, he's looking like Norris trophy candidate.
The core of the team is all between 20-27 years old. How would you move forward with this lineup?

@Alflives Alf, your posts always put a smile on my face
Sorry that you lost so many good cards, but you get a story out of it now.
@thejazz97 Appreciate the tip anyways. NHL '16 is the most current NHL I own. I don't buy them every year because of how stupid expensive they are. I'll probably wait to get NHL '20 when it comes out. I know I'm cheap, but I hate corporations and I'm not giving them my money unless I absolutely have to.

There are 5 teams left that are real cup contender imo: Pittsburgh, Tampa, Boston, Nashville and Winnipeg. Who do you think has the best shot to take home the hardware?

@goalie13 Not necessarily. Obviously they are all good teams, but imo the other teams are on another level. Although VGK did look mighty good in game 1.
@Heretic That's actually a very good point you bring up. I did not quite think of it, but I can see that happening for sure. It's going to be a draining series for both teams... It'll be interesting to see how the team that moves on handles the next opponent. It's not just the physical stuff, the emotional toll of that series will be tough to get over.
