Yes he was a very similar prospect in junior. I don't think he is a horrible prospect, I just think that a year of injuries and poor play means most organizations if they were to pick one of the two players, in a trade say, would take the guy without the bad year on the resume.
If it were just injuries and he had played decent, it would have hurt his development but maybe not cast doubts on whether he will cut it as an AHL player.
It invalidates the article because it reflects upon a lack of consideration of current performance, which is the most important thing to consider when putting out a time sensitive ranking of an organizations prospects.
