Okay… well this is interesting. It’s looks like we value our prospects way differently. I won’t say what I agree with or disagree with, and place them into my tiers, unless you want me to, only because I disagree with a lot of this. This is a good idea though!

Okay well… I’m sorry if this is long. I will use your tiers. So, Holloway in my opinion would be in tier 3. I don’t see him as a true first line forward in the NHL. The rest of the 3rd tier is good. Skinner I would move to tier 5, maybe tier 4 depending on how he plays. He’s good, but is he going to be a top 15 goalie.. probably not. In my opinion, he looks more like a backup than a starter. I’m hoping he proves me wrong, but I don’t see it. That would then push Konovalov, Rodrigue, and Fanti to tier 5. Fanti may be able to go to tier 4, but I would like to see more of him in Bakersfield next season. The rest may be okay, but those are the main things. Now let’s get this clear. Holloway is better than Savoie, but he needs to be in that tier. Skinner is also our best goalie prospect, but he needs to again be in the same tier, just because I don’t see him as a starter.

(Again this is just my opinion so it doesn't matter) I think skinner is a little overvalued we haven't seen too much of him and if he was as good as people say he is he would be our starter so woodcroft must know smth we don't(He will definitely be a serviceable starter tho) and honestly I really like lavoie. He is very skillful and could def be a 20 goal guy in my eyes(So like a low top/middle six guy)

Skinner should definitely move down a tier or 2, rest looks decent
