No. Not at all. This is a snapshot of the prospects today. Where they were, where they're trending, doesn't matter.

I would agree that those players have great potential. And every fanbase will argue the same for their top prospects. I was saying similar things about Nemisz, Wahl, Erixon and Howse when only Backlund ended up being a regular of that crop. It's the issue with being a fan, it's hard not to be a homer. With an emphasis on high-end talent, "sure-things," and less emphasis on goalie crapshoots, it's a fair ranking.
