Wheeler himself writes in the Bruins piece that taking Poitras off the list has cost the Bruins a couple of spots in his rankings ... in reality, he's still 19 and a big piece for them going forward. Whatever you choose as a cutoff point, you can find holes in that methodology ... it'll always just be a snapshot with an arbitrary cutoff that might skew rankings a bit. But either way, I just like reading up on prospects around the league from a knowledgable guy like Wheeler. Also helps when your team trades for a guy like Joni Jurmo and you can go back and read Wheeler's snippets about him.
