Hunter hasnt gotten the same opportunities, there isnt the same guarentee that he wont be a tweener still next year. I would still consider him a prospect for the rankings.
He might graduate Gridin, but he had a few guys with similar NHL profiles ranked last year (Will Smith and Marco Kasper to name a couple). I think he'll also see that Parekh was forced into the NHL and will leave him as a prospect.
