Whatever man. I guess we have to define each word before we use it?

Almost every prospect has a chance of busting so I guess there's only a couple bluechip prospects drafted each year according to your definition?

How many prospects on Button's list that I linked above would you consider bluechip? If I used the word top prospect instead of bluechip would that suddenly make things okay?

Not even sure what we're really arguing about now. I think that Jankowski has good trade value if teams have scouted him. I think Parsons obviously has good trade value. I think Gillies has good trade value. I think Andersson, Fox and Kylington all have some trade value. They are assets.
