The constant overranking of teams like the Oilers is nothing more than pragmatism by HF. Oiler fans represent one of their largest fanbases on the site, so of course they are going to play to their readers.

I still think they are overrated in this article. They are ranked 12th on supposedly their strong defensemen prospects (Petry and Chorney), and Schremp (ranked as their 3rd best prospect). That gives them a 12th overall rating?
I also like how they have Gilbert mentioned as a recent graduate, yet they don't mention Pardy or Giordano for us. In fact, seeing as how Pardy is playing in the NHL, shouldn't he still be considered a prospect like other rookies who are listed as prospects for other teams in the same article?
I always got the feeling that HF is a thinly veiled Oilers fansite, and this article just proves it.
