thanks for the update...a year of watching/keeping up with these guys and i tend to believe most of these comments and potential ratings are very close...
No Brandon Segal? Has he really had that bad of a year? Wow. I thought this guy could step into the 4th line RW role.
i was a little surprised at that myself, especially since guys like platonov made it on. i'm not sure if Gamache is considered a prospect, but I'd probably have slipped him on there, as well.
Solid work. I wouldn't have Glazachev higher than Klein and but that is starting to get nit picky....

Shea Weber won a Memorial Cup in 2004, a gold medal early in 2005, and he is now working on a second consecutive Memorial Cup with the Kelowna Rockets. Weber, a second round selection for the Predators in 2003, is another impressive defensive prospect in the club’s system. While Ryan Suter and Kevin Klein both possess well-rounded skill sets, Weber is more in the mold of the tough, stay-at-home defensive player, albeit with some offensive ability. The Sicamous, B.C. native picked up 41 points (12 goals, 29 assists) in just 55 games for the Rockets, which might lead one to believe that his offensive ability is underrated. He is continuing his offensive exploits in the post-season, picking up 13 points (8 goals, 5 assists) in 14 games so far.
I just confirmed with a source in Rockford(Where Brandon was sent to.)that Brandon's demotion to the UHL was due to poor performance. Rockford and Milwaukee have a working agreement to transfer players back and forth.
If Brandon isn't playing well enough to keep in the AHL, then not being in the top 20 shouldn't be a surprise.

well, that much was known...but brandon also played his way BACK UP to Milwaukee by not just doing well in the UHL, but leading the entire league in scoring. From what I've heard, it wasn't even fair how much better Brandon was than anyone he was competing against. He also had a great rookie season in Milwaukee and started out strong this season. If anything, he hit a bit of a sophomore jinx.
There's nothing that can convince me that Denis Platonov, who took two breaths of North American air and decided he was "too homesick" and went home to do nothing in Russia is a better prospect than Segal.
