WHAT DO YOU THINK WOULD BE A MORE ACCURATE RANKING OF OUR PLAYERS? WHO SHOULD BE DROPPED FROM THE TOP 20 (yes, i am bored at work today)

[Hatter]

ugh?

[CBGB]

So Harrold, who is actually PLAYING in the NHL is #11, and Lewis, who absolutely has SUCKED is #3?

Gauthier and Moulson, who DID play in the NHL aren't even ranked?

Just goes to show.

[backofthenet]

Moulson and Simmonds could move up.

Fast, Piskula, Anderson, and Holloway are too low, in my opinion.

Meckler, Tuk, and Hersley are too high in my opinion.

Regardless, still a good list.

Lewis has sucked? You catch a lot of Monarchs games this year, I take it. For all of us who haven't seen the Monarchs play, can you let us know which line Lewis has played on for most of the year?

Thanks.

It's not as if that list is updated in real time.

Simmonds, Taylor and Gauthier, Moulson, Holloway need to be in the top 20.

Kanko can be dropped, and maybe Hersley? I havent heard any positive mention of him in some time now.

[going5hole]

I am thinking that it will be updated any day now, but I thought it would be fun to see where we think our prospects should be.

Cameron definitely needs to be moved up into the top 20 too... admittedly, I know nothing about Anderson? Where is he playing?

... that you don't know WTF the rankings are about.

Since the rankings are based on career potential, the only way the NHL games played matters is when determining when a player graduates off of the "prospects" list. Should Harrold have a higher ranking than Hickey just because Harrold has played more games in the NHL than Hickey?

[Hipcheck]

Zeiler should not be there at all. Hes got career minor leaguer written all over him.

[Sleestak]

According to Hockey's Past, I am the 511th ranked prospect in the Kings organization, and that's because one of my kids took skating lessons at HealthSouth.

Go figure.

[Rob2716]

The list obviously hasn't been updated in a little while. I think you can drop Kanko from the top 20 and based on the numbers Joey Ryan has put up this year, I think it's pretty fair to drop him as well. That would leave four empty spots, which could go to Matt Moulson, TJ Fast, Bud Holloway, Wayne Simmonds and/or Bryan Cameron.

[salami]

Has anybody noticed that Hickey has moved up to an 8.0C and Alzner is a 7.5B?

I'm just sayin'.....
