Still in the bottom half of the league
Taking the Flyers for example they have
One Top of the lineup player Joel Farabee
Two bubble top and middle of the lineup players Frost and Cam York
and three middle of the Line up players Samu Tuomaala, Yegor Zamula, Bobby Brink
out of their 6 best guys under 23 only Yegor Zamula is above 6 ft tall and he is listed as a 6-3 177 lbs 21 year old.
Florida ranked one spot behind them has Lundell as top of the lineup, Spencer Knight as starting goalie,
Grigori Denisenko, 5-foot-11 | 176 pounds bubble top and middle of the lineup player
Owen Tippett bubble top and middle of the lineup player
Mackie Samoskevich and Justin Sourdif as middle of the lineup players
Hard to see why Philly would be higher than Florida but for Farabee and Frost already being NHL players.
It will be interesting to see the players on the top end of the pipeline.
It already provides a glimpse of the Flames problems in trying to make a huge trade for Eichel. Florida and Philly both have 6 players that are marked for middle of the lineup or better while the Flames have 3.
It would be a lot easier for those teams to trade 2 or even 3 of their under 23 guys than it would be for the Flames to wipe out their 2 or 3 of their best guys under 23.
