This has been done in years past and I always enjoyed seeing how us fans view the organization's top prospects in comparison to HF. Please make sure to post who you voted for and who you nominate to be added to the next poll.
I will be defining prospects based on HF's criteria.
Quote:
1. If a prospect is a skater (forward, defenseman) and has played in 65 NHL games or more before the completion of the season of his 24th birthday; or, if a goaltender has played in 45 NHL games before the completion of the season of his 24th birthday, that player will be considered graduated to the NHL. Conversely, if a player completes the season of his 24th birthday without passing those milestones, then that player will no longer be considered a prospect by Hockey’s Future, regardless of the player’s status with his NHL club.
2. An NCAA player who signs his first contract at or above the age of 22 has three years to meet the above criteria (65/45), while those NCAA players that turn pro under the age of 22 will be subjected to
the criteria above.
3. European players who sign their first NHL contract at or above the age of 22 have three seasons from the time they sign that contract to meet the above criteria. Those European players below the age of 22 that have signed a NHL contract will be subjected to the criteria in section one.
Here is the list of the organization's prospects that fit the criteria above.

went back on my Clermont pick. Going with Wohlberg on this one. Has had his iffy moments but I'm thinking a year in the AHL will do wonders. Still a case of tallest midget (THX CG) tho to me really.
Really curious why this guy doesn't get more attention after scoring 15 goals 3/4 of his four collegiate years and possessing a fast forechecking game that fits with our team philosophy.

Love Wohlberg. Can't wait to see what he does in a full AHL season.

he's my pick after burlon. something about him feels good to me, granted i've only seen him play a handful of games.

It's his lack of offensive upside, I think. I can't imagine his ceiling being much more than a 3rd/4th-line PK specialist kinda guy.
