It's top 5 definitely. Likely top 3.

LA has a good pool. As does OTT. Those teams pools are only going to expand, too.

NYR is stacked as well. I agree in the top 5.

Colorado will be one of the best teams for the next 10 year for sure. Good prospect pool and good young core... might be the next team to go on a Detroit type run for making the playoffs so many times... if they can keep them all.

Idk, Avs are contenders and still have a really good prospect pool, but Rangers are up there.

LA, MTL, CAR, NYR and PHI all have really good pools. I think COL is 3rd or 4th.

It's hard to say who has the "best" prospects.
I know one thing about COL prospect pool, is a lot of their players are on the smaller size. But they also play the hardest level of competition in the NCAA.
It's not like the CHL where they can play 16-19 year olds. Most the players in the NCAA are 19-23. With a few being 18, But most freshmen redshirt unless they are really good.
But COL also has a few guys that are or maybe 4 year guys. Which means they really aren't "prospects" but FA.
