I think you've got to put Z-Bad higher. Look at the last few 6th overall picks (Upshall, M. Koivu, Filatov, etc.) No way he is below Cowen, let alone the other guys you listed.

[yoplait]

Rundblad
Lehner
Cowen
Zibanejad
Silfverberg
Puempel
Butler
Noesen
Weircioch
Stone

1. Rundblad
2. Zibanejad
3. Cowen
4. Lehner
5. Noesen

20.) Hoffman LW http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=18800

Greening, Z. Smith and hopefully Condra should make the team next season so i don´t have them in my list.

I love our depth now and one or two picks today could crack the top 20, too. And we have some solid prospects outside the top 20 especially at college (Blood, Costello, Aneloski and Sdao).

Just a great time being a Sens fan.

[Pietraneglo222]

Lehner, Cowen and Rundblad are higher than anyone picked today.

The new players might rise but all of these today are much better players.

[German Senator]

I have to correct my list:

4.) Filatov
13.) Prince

Murray you are genius!

[aragorn]

Murray drafted Plymouth's leading scorer, Peterborough's leading scorer & the Ottawa 67s 2nd leading scorer who had more points than the other two I believe.

[Shanny]

THIS IS JUST SOOO AMAZING.....Prince falling to 61st....and FILATOV for a 3rd rounder, and three 1st round picks... holy crap!!

[Xspyrit]

EDIT : lol, forgot about Da Costa

Dunno enough about Shane Prince and later round picks, but here is my list :

1. Lehner
2. Cowen
3. Rundblad
4. Zibanejad
5. Silfverberg
6. Filatov
7. Butler
8. Puempel
9. Noesen
10. Petersson
11. Wiercioch
12. Da Costa
13. Stone
14. Grant
15. Hoffman
16. Sorensen
17. Condra
18. Greening
19. Gryba
20. Wideman

To be included : Prince and Pageau

Poor Caporusso, O'Brien, Wick, Daugavins, Borowiecki, DD,... and lol Cody Bass!

[Suddz17]

I'll try a top 10
1.Rundblad
2.Lehner
3.Cowen
4.Zibby
5.Puempel
6.Noesen
7.Butler
8.Silfverberg
9.DaCosta
10.Weircioch
(I don't really consider Filatov a prospect)

[Landru]

Looks like Butler is still criminally underrated on these forums.

[Hale The Villain]

1. D, David Rundblad
2. G, Robin Lehner
3. D, Jared Cowen
4. C, Mika Zibanejad
5. LW, Nikita Filatov
6, C, Jakob Silfverberg
7. RW, Bobby Butler
8. RW, Stefan Noesen
9. LW, Matt Puempel
10. D, Patrick Wiercioch

Arguably the strongest top 10 in the NHL.

[mikeymac]

SO where will we rank on HF boards rankings once they update it?

We are ranked 16th right now. Guaranteed top 10 IMO, possibly top 5.

The team rankings were quite confusing. Look at the Rangers. They are currently ranked 7th. Pretty good right? They just traded their 4th best prospect (Grachev) for a 3rd round pick.

Excuse me, but would you trade Silverberg or Butler, or Wiercioch, or Smith or Da Costa etc for a 3rd rounder?

I would be hard pressed to see a real increase by more than 2-4 spots based on the addtions. realistically though 16 was criminally low, while many teams above us were too high. <points at the Rangers and Anaheim to start>

[Cujomi]

Rundblad
Zibanejad
Puempel
Cowen
Noesen
Lehner
Silfverberg
Prince
Filatov
Pageau
Wierchioch

etc.

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

Filatov won't really qualify as a prospect. He's playing in the NHL or not at all.

With that in mind

1) Rundblad
2) Zibanejad
3) Cowen
4) Lehner
5) Noesen
6) Puempel
7) Wiercioch
8) Silfverberg
9) Butler
10) Da Costa
11) Gryba
12) Prince
13) Condra
14) Greening
15) Stone
16) Petersson
17) Daugavins
18) Boroweicki
19) Sorensson
20) Hoffman

... still Pageau, O'Brien, Grant, Wideman, Caporusso... its bloody stacked.

[SensAreReligion]

this is so nutty

Must be top 5. We added two blue-chip forward prospects (Filatov and Zibanejad), 3 very good forward prospects, and already had 3 other blue-chippers in Cowen, Rundblad and Lehner. Meanwhile LA lost their best prospect, so their ranking must be going down big time.
