Fabbri Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 i got bored and decided to name every teams best prospect in my own perspective. Please feel free to write down your own at the comment section.Next to each individual is the prospect rating and probability of reaching stardom beside.Source:Hockey's Future. Under is the potential ratings and Probability Anaheim- John Gibson- 8.0/C Boston-Malcolm Subban- 8.0/C Buffalo- Rasmus Ristolainen- 8.0/C Calgary- Sean Monahan-8.0/C Carolina-Elias Lindholm- 8.0/C Chicago- Teuvo Teravainen- 8.0/C Colorado- Nathan Mackinnon- 9.0/B Columbus- Ryan Murray-8.0/B Dallas- Valeri Nichuskin- 8.5/C Detriot- Anthony Mantha-8.0/C Edmonton- Darnell Nurse- 8.0/C Florida- Aleksander Barkov-8.5/C LA- Valentin Zykov- 7.5/C Minnesota- Matthew Dumba-8.0/C Montreal- Zachery Fucale- 8.0/D Nashville- Seth Jones-9.0/C NJ- Jon Merril- 8.0/C NYI- Griffen Reinhart- 8.0/C NYR- Danny Kristo- 8.0/C Ottawa-Curtis Lazar-7.5/C Philly- Scott Laughton- 7.5/B Phoenix- Brandon Gormley-8.0/C Pittsburgh-Olli Maatta- 8.5/C San Jose- Tomas Hertl-8.0/C St.Louis- Jaden Schwartz-8.0/B Tampa- Jonathan Drouin- 9.0/C Toronto-Fredrick Gauthier-7.5/C Vancouver- Bo Horvat-7.5/C Washington-Evgeny Kuznetsov-8.0/C Winnipeg- Jacob Trouba- 8.0/B Traditional Realistic Potential Rating (1-10) (a player's realistic potential ability): 10. Generational Talent - a player for the ages, one who can do things with a puck that no other player would even contemplate doing. Very, very few players will be deserving of this rating, probably one per decade. Defense: Bobby Orr Forward: Wayne Gretzky Goaltender: Patrick Roy 9. Elite Talent – possesses the potential for greatness, a perennial All-Star throughout his career. Defense: Nicklas Lidstrom, Zdeno Chara, Chris Pronger Forward: Ilya Kovalchuk, Joe Thornton, Eric Staal Goaltender: Martin Brodeur, Roberto Luongo, Henrik Lundqvist 8. First-Line Forward/ No. 2 Defenseman / No. 1 Goaltender – players with definite skill that might be just a cut below elite status, but still possessing All-Star potential. Defense: Dan Boyle, Duncan Keith, Kimmo Timonen Forward: Patrick Marleau, Jason Spezza, Mike Richards Goaltender: Cam Ward, Marc-Andre Fleury, Tomas Vokoun 7. Second-Line Forward/ No. 3-4 Defenseman / Journeyman No. 1 Goaltender – players not quite good enough to play on the top line or pairing on a regular basis, but still possessing enough talent to contribute offensively, defend with some authority, or competently play the goaltender's position for long stretches. Defense: Filip Kuba, Christian Ehrhoff, Henrik Tallinder Forward: Andy McDonald, Ryan Malone Goaltender: Chris Mason, Dwayne Roloson, Mike Smith 6. Third-Line Forward/ No. 5-6 Defenseman / Backup Goaltender – generally speaking, players whose game is defensively-oriented, or whose abilities aren't quite good enough to land full-time duty on the 2nd line, top two defensive pairings, or the No. 1 goaltending position. Defense: Jordan Leopold, Chris Campoli, Shane O'Brien Forward: Trent Hunter, Manny Malhotra, Matt Cooke Goaltender: Scott Clemmensen, Ty Conklin, Alex Auld 5. Fourth line forward / No. 7 defenseman / depth goaltender – players that populate the 4th line, will fill in for injured defensemen, or have some ability to play goal in the NHL but are mostly very good minor league goaltenders. Think of any enforcer you care to name, or any energy player you care to name, or any unlucky defensemen or goaltenders that don't quite have enough talent to crack an NHL lineup full time. 4. Top minor league forward / defenseman / goaltender – players unlikely to have long careers in the NHL, but they'll be recalled when injuries or other circumstances arise. 3. Average minor league forward / defenseman / goaltender – players who will in all likelihood spend their entire careers in the minor leagues. 2. Minor league role-player – players who populate minor league rosters for the purpose of populating minor league rosters. Mostly ECHL players or lower, but ones that could receive some playing time in the AHL. 1. Borderline minor league player – players one step away from the beer leagues. A – All but guaranteed to reach potential - 100 percent metaphysical certitude that the player will play up to his abilities as noted by his potential rating. In this case, the potential rating is multiplied by 100 percent for depth chart purposes, signaling that the player is a lock to reach his given potential. B – Should reach potential, could drop 1 rating - likely to reach potential, but may have a hole or two in his game that will keep him from reaching his full potential. The potential rating is multiplied by 90 percent for depth chart purposes, which indicates slightly less certainty about a player’s future performance. C – May reach potential, could drop 2 ratings – has shown some flashes, but may ultimately not have what it takes to reach his potential. The potential rating is multiplied by 80 percent for depth chart purposes to show the uncertainty of a player reaching his potential. D – Unlikely to reach potential, could drop 3 ratings – a player who has a chance to reach his potential but is unlikely to do so. The potential rating is multiplied by 70 percent for depth chart purposes, indicating that the player's potential is extremely fluid. F – A player possessing little potential who has a mountain to climb just to reach the outermost boundary of that potential. The potential rating is multiplied by 50 percent depth chart purposes.

Watermelons Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Some of the guys on that list (Mackinnon, Nichushkin, Murray, Jones, Schwartz, Monahan) aren't really prospects. They are more rookies than prospects and already have one full year of NHL experience.Edit: I think OP based his prospect list off of the 2013 September list made by HF...

Kanucklehead10 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Several of these players play in the NHL and are a big part of their respective teams already. I don't think they'd be considered prospects anymore.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baka Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I once used HF as a source to say Laughton and Horvat were comparable. CDC flamed me into submission over how HF is a terrible website and they weren't even close :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madness Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Some of the players are playing full time in the NHL. Not really prospects anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-AJ- Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Several of these players play in the NHL and are a big part of their respective teams already. I don't think they'd be considered prospects anymore.... This exactly. For me, once a player has completed the requirements for a rookie season, they're not prospects anymore. Technically there's not specific line at which they lose their "prospect" status, so I guess it's subjective, but that's my opinion on it anyways.

DrChill Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 They don't have Reilly or tofolli. But people will still think HF is so great Maybe they aren't considered prospects anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MayRayDown Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Maybe they aren't considered prospects anymore? How is Hertl still listed as a prospect? Same draft year, first full season like many others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toews Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 How is Hertl still listed as a prospect? Same draft year, first full season like many others. Prospect eligibility on HFboards is based on games played I believe. Hertl was injured for most of the season, maybe that's the reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
