Interesting to look back and see what a crapshoot this is, especially with older guys.

From this article as the top prospects:

1)Jake Livinstone - just 5 NHL games, and nothing interesting at the AHL level yet.
2)Hunter McKown - 12 NHL games, and not even .5 PPG at AHL (although very close)
3)VIctor Ostman - went back to University of Maine, where he's had his worst season
4)Sam Malinski - decent stats in 23 NHL games and pretty good in 39 AHL games
5)Riese Gaber - went back to UND, but didn't really improve on previous season
6)Akita Hirose - 3 NHL games and only 25 in the AHL, where his results are pretty dismal
7)Ryan McAllister - only decent in the AHL
8)Austen Swankler - went to Michigan Tech, only 10 games and 3 assists
9)Parker Ford - decent stats in the AHL
10) Jaxon Nelson - went back to University of Minnesota; goals much improved
11)Jason Polin 7 NHL games, dismal stats in the AHL
12)Max Sasson - good AHL stats
13)TJ Hughes - went back to University of Michigan and looks to have improved
14)Collin Graf- back to Quinnipac and probably the most touted free agent this year
15)Jacob Bengtsson - went to Boston College, not lighting it up.

So no one in the NHL yet, and only a handful are actually doing okay or better at the AHL level - the most productive of the bunch right now is Max Sasson.
