And yes, FN's rates their prospects differently, that is the whole point.
But I think FN - and you - seem to lack an understanding of the word prospect, and what it references with respect to young players.
MacKinnon has not played a game in the NHL or in the AHL - so Cundari is a better prospect than him?
There are two major variables to consider when rating prospects, IMO. One is progression, or NHL-readiness. The other is potential.
How you weight those variables is completely subjective.
But it appears, by the sheer fact of their outlying position relative to all others, that FN puts too much emphasis on the first, and not enough on the second.

So they base their rankings on priorities differently, yet as you said in the bold validly, and they are just wrong?
Bit of interesting logic on your part. I get it, you prefer potential, doesn't make you more right.
