Well you have to set criteria somehow. This is why some authors don't do a prospect ranking but a ranking of players 23 years or younger. That type of thing.
But doesn't bother me because I see these things are great discussion fodder and nothing more.
Another good example is I suspect Pospisil wasn't a big factor in prior year rankings, but could now be considered a full NHLer. Shows how wrong these things can be. Which is OK.
