The ECHL is effectively a graveyard except in very rare cases for some noteworthy NHL goalies (Quick, Holtby, Vokoun), and depth NHL'ers (Burrows, Corvo, Gomez, Ryder).

All those "depth" NHLers were all good players in their prime. With that said, I do agree that just because Falkovsky scored 20 in the ECHL doesn't mean he's a top 20 prospect, in the CPHL rankings I'd likely have him ahead of Lomberg at 25.
