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.

Yes and no.
I agree to a large extent, but Nemisz, Wahl and Howse were much more Ruzicka and Joly than they were Dube and Mangiapane ... Foo.
They never got it done at the AHL level and had that maybe vibe that never went to the positive.
