I appreciate this list. So what if Parekh isn't on it? If the criteria is applied consistently throughout this exercise, then this is a worthwhile look at every prospect base. There shouldn't be any complaints - the exercise is simply ranking all NHL teams prospect pools that haven't made their team. It is still a snapshot of things that are coming down the pipeline for everyone. There is no reason for complaining about it. Complain when prospect A is included, and prospect B is excluded.

Also, regarding prospect lists, there will ALWAYS be some form of complaining over the criteria selected. Make it graduated at 41 games, or 82, or 2 full season, or this or that - there will always be complaints. As long as the criteria remains consistent, and hopefully the methodology as well, then this becomes a valuable resource. That's how I look at various lists out there. They fall apart only when exceptions are made.

So thanks for sharing Cral! I appreciate it.
