Do Hall, RNH, or Eberle qualify in any way shape or form under that definition.
Of course not - they ARE NHL players. Period.
Here's the definition of silly: Having or showing a lack of common sense or judgment; foolish.
Yup - fits. Trying to call those guys prospects is exactly that.

So, by simply using my own self-determined and scientifically supported concept of what constitutes a prospect, using literal terminology, I am foolish?
That doesn't seem appropriate.
I can understand how my argument is construed as being wrong within typical, traditional, and popular criteria, but that isn't my issue here. It's being labeled ridiculous, silly, or foolish for expressing and quantifying an opinion.
I'll end this discussion here as I have seriously contributed to the derailment of the original intention of this thread.
Apologies, OP...carry on.
