Pit	100
Ana	93
Dal	86
TB	72
Ott	66
Min	65
LA	55
Van	50
NYR	43
Edm	10

Corey Pronman was still rank Calgary 10th or worse in the pool rankings.

Alexander Sapozhnikov sounds a lot like Anton Babchuk.

Pronman is an idiot, I wouldn't put any stock in what he says at all.

I took an embarrassingly long time to figure out you weren't referring to Conor Geekie and not being able to find him on the list.

Van and NY being as bad as they are with nothing in the pipeline is wild

Agreed. I'm not saying I'd put him ahead of Parekh, but there's an argument to be made that he's had a better first year of pro hockey.

[ForeverFlameFan]

Nothing against Parekh, he's been fine, but I too would have Gridin ahead of Parekh at this point. Parekh plays a tougher position and one that takes longer to get acclimated to, but that shouldn't discount what Gridin has done.

If we had our prospects poll today, I would have Gridin 1st.

Gridin
Parekh
Reschny

To be exact.

[Monahammer]

People sleeping on a great Reschny campaign in the NCAA. He'd be up among the point leaders without the WJC break.

Gridin has been absolutely dynamite this year, I agree on that.

Parekh has also been amazing, especially since the confidence reboost at WJC.

I really, really hate how we have deployed him in the NHL but I think he'll still be the best of the three long term.
