not in my humble opinion ... right now, I'd rank them like that:
1. Sean Monahan - C
2. Sven Baertschi - LW
3. Johnny Gaudreau - LW
4. Corban Knight - C
5. Mark Jankowski - C
6. Jon Gillies - G
7. Morgan Klimchuk - LW
8. Tyler Wotherspoon - D
9. Kenny Agostino - LW
10. Emile Poirier - RW
11. Patrick Sieloff - D
12. Max Reinhart - C
13. Laurent Brossoit - G
14. Brett Kulak - D
15. Bill Arnold - C
16. Ryan Culkin - D
17. Michael Ferland - LW
18. John Ramage - D
19. Markus Granlund - C
20. Eric Roy - D
But really, just my two cents, without seeing a lot of them. There are tons of people out there who are better judges on the subject
But really, I am extremely excited about our prospect group right now. I remember development camps where we had very little talent with upside ... this year, you have 5 first rounders from the past 3 drafts and that doesn't even include talent like Gaudreau, Knight, Agostino, Wotherspoon and Gillies. Just a lot of skill and hockey IQ, and that's fantastic to see. I don't think we have a top prospect group just yet, but I guess we're pretty close to the 10 best pools in the league, which is refreshing after possessing one of the three worst systems in the league for many years. We have a very solid basis for a rebuild.
