Thanks to WJG for getting this underway!

[Grind]

Interesting to note, 13 of our top 20 prospects were selected in the top 90 of their draft year... bodes well for our glut of top 90 selections at next years draft if you ask me...

[truck]

It will be really interesting to see what direction Chevy goes next year.

There could be a couple prospects pushing for NHL ice time; Redmond, Cormier, Telegin, Scheifele and maybe Klingberg come to mind. Combine that with the amount of UFAs/RFAs and we will learn a lot about where Chevy's head is at.

UFAs
Hainsey
Clitsome
Enstrom
Ponikarovsky
Mittens
Wellwood
Montoya / Dekanich
Meech

RFAs
Postma
Little
Wheeler
Bogosian
Burmistrov

Prospects That Will Be Close
Cormier
Redmond
Klingberg
Telegin
Scheifele

Depending how things go this year, we could see a major reno.

[WJG]

I hope we re-sign Enstrom. We don't have any blue chip defense prospects that are going to be ready to take his spot and it's going to be impossible to replace him with a free agent.

Me too.

[Holden Caulfield]

My list would be a bit different...for fun I stated where I feel there is a significant talent drop as well...in parentheses is where the poll ranked them.

The rest are LONG LONG LONG shots at best. If we get a single NHL game out of these players I'd be surprised but if I had to rank them...

[TroubaFan1]

I think the top 20 this year was better than the top 20 last year. Thats definatly something I like to see!

[IceCapsNation]

Great list. However my personal list would have Redmond higher than Klingberg. That's strictly speaking as a STH in St. John's.

[Boreal]

I like your list Holden. While Melchiori and O'Dell deserve to be on the level you ranked them, they are two players that I can certainly envision movin' on up in the future.

[puck stoppa]

Melchiori impressed at dev camp. Hopefully he has a good year in the AHL. And some of us have talked about restocking the cupboards because Atlanta did not draft well and our youth was thin. I like what Chevy has done, but it should also be noted that some of these late Thrashers draft picks have developed quite well and have made big strides from this time last season.
