(Posting these early tonight b/c I'm going out, so plz don't lock them mods b/c there's too many on the first page)
HFBoards as a whole has a tendency to overrate prospects not playing North American Pro Hockey because they haven't been exposed yet. So I'm doing a 128-player tournament of players that have only played North American Pro Hockey.
QUALIFICATIONS: Minimum of 50 AHL + NHL games played (20 AHL + NHL games played for Gs);
Maximum of 100 NHL games played (30 NHL games played for Gs);
26 years old or younger by 12/31/12;
Signed to play in North America next season; Can't have played more than 50 NHL games in 11/12 NHL season, injured players exempt (ie. Mike Sauer, Jacob Josefson, etc.)
Disclaimer: This is based on my own subjective rankings. So if you don't like them, too bad - the best will win in the end. If I overlooked someone: too late the bracket is already made. Made a total list of ~200 but pared it down to 128.
