Description

For those of you who are unsure of what it is, it is simply a way of ranking prospects in tier levels rather than individual level. In other words, each tier represents a certain potential for the prospects. Tier 1 is Superstar, meaning that the prospect will make a huge impact in the NHL (McDavid, Matthews caliber players). Tier 2 is your solid prospects that will turn into big assets for your future, maybe potential all-stars and superstars. Tier 3 is more of your players who are beginning to scratch the surface at the NHL and have high sealings to go far, but they could very well possibly not go far at all. Tier 4 is where we begin to find those players whose chances of making the big club are small, but they have the potential to do it, but it's highly unlikely they do. Tier 5 is the second last tier and these players are typically classified as AHL players meaning their chances of making the NHL are slim to none. Tier 6 is the last and by now you could probably finish it by saying that tier 6 is the bottom of the barrel.

Tier 1 = LW
Tier 2 = C
Tier 3 = RW
Tier 4 = LD
Tier 5 = RD & G
Tier 6 = SCRATCHED LIST

*I consider prospects to be "graduated" from the rank of prospect after they turn 25. Therefore, the players on this list are 24 years old or younger.

Konovalov is tier 3
Skinner is tier 4
Rodrigue is tier 4
Wells is tier 5

I combined 5 and 6 so I can fit the goalies

Really well done. Could also make a case for Broberg in tier 2

It’s very close. He’ll be there by next year.

Interesting but seriously flawed IMO. And you missed Kemp and Kesselring.

Out of curiosity, what’re the flaws?

- I think Broberg, Samorukov and possibly Lavoie belong in the same tier as Holloway, Bouchard, etc. There's not a prognosticator out there that has Broberg in a different tier than Bouchard at this point - some have him ahead even.
- I'm unsure about having Puljujarvi in the 2nd tier. Not many are of the opinion that he can become a star in this league, and although he's still young he is running out of daylight.
- Are Jones and Yamamoto prospects at this point? They have 62 and 57 NHL games under their respective belts.
- Savoie should be a tier up at least. If he continues this level of play (he's the driver on his team as an 18-year-old freshman) for the season he'll be in the conversation for top-5 prospects in the organization (2nd tier).
