You look at the "second tier" and a lot of those guys are having great starts. Thomas, Haeglin, and Werek are all doing very well.

Interesting post.. I did not really realize that the top ranked prospects are off to a slow start but then the second prospects seems to be off to great starts... It really just goes to show that it is so difficult to predict which prospects make it and succeed at the NHL level.. For all we know, Kreider can disappoint or bust and then a player such as Hagelin or Horak become the next home grown first line player for the Rangers.
