Plus having a guy get called up a for a game without even seeing him play a game at the NHL level seems very premature to be calling out a list in which most guys are still under 20 and in the CHL/NCAA.
This call-up hardly means that Billins is a better prospect than guys like Gaudreau, Gillies, Seiloff etc. who are much more deserving to be ahead of him on the list and it hardly means that the 30 other guys ahead of him are bound for NHL glory.
A very odd (though not surprising) post from Ricardow to bring that list into this thread.
