By 'actual prospect', I'm interpreting it as a reasonable chance to establish themselves as full time, regular NHLers. I'm sure plenty on this list do have that chance, and I hate 'writing off' so many kids when there are almost certainly a few players below my line that will make it, but statistically, not that many prospects ever really make it. If we were to look back on this list in a decade, I'd be shocked if more than 7 made it, and thus I selected the seven best prospects to be above my line. I hope I'm wrong
