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.

there are criteria that are a bit arbitrary but not directly meant to favour one team. for example Pardy isn't a prospect because he's 24 and came from the CHL (ditto Prust and Giordano), if you came from NCAA (like Gilbert who I think was 24 or 25 last year) you are a prospect for longer...if you are from Europe even longer (Mikhnov, the Oilers first rounder in 2000-he'd be the same age as guys like Lombardi, Moss, Kobasew-is still listed as a prospect for that reason)
