Description

Quality potential is just meaning the quality of output they could hold.
Merkley at 10/10 means he had the potential to be a high class player, and perform big time. Chmelevski at a 6/10 means he has the potential to be an impactful player but nothing special, he’ll be useful. Pasichnuk at a 5/10 means he’ll be an average player.

6-7 out of 10 means a good useful player who’s impactful. 5 means kinda just average. 8-10 means the player could become a big time name for the team.

My personal gripe with the team is Chmelevski. He could be better than I’ve rated him but he hasn’t performed in the AHL to make me hold the same faith in him as I hoped

I would probably bump him up personally I agree he didn’t perform as best as he could last year, but he had an early injury which lingered and cost him. Toward the end of the season he was really, really good.

I personally would drop down Melnichuk, Kniazev and Pasichnuk at least 1 each just because I’m not really sold on their ceilings. But other than that this is pretty solid! Hard to get a grip on this years prospects until later on but they’re looking good so far.

Yeah I threw alexei quite high but he’s our best goalie bet so I felt he’s important to us. And I do think Chmelevski could make the roster this year so I’m not worrried about him. He’s still got a ton of potential I just hope this years better for him.

Yeah I suppose relative to the Sharks organization, Alexei is more like a 10 considering our goalie prospect pool lol. That’s for sure. Definitely hope Sasha has a better year too.
