After Sven, which prospect are you most optimistic for?

[Pierre "Monster" McGuire]

Just for reference, does Ramo count as a prospect? Because he should be top 5 if he is.

[thymebalm]

Gaudreau is right after Sven in my books. He's playing right now.

[Itse]

Gaudreau
Horak ("almost there")
Jankowski (Great prospect, but plenty of time for something to go wrong too)

Sieloff
Nemisz

[Pierre "Monster" McGuire]

In terms of NHL readiness:

1. Sven
2. Reinhart
3. Horak
4. Ramage
5. Gaudreau
6. Byron
7. Nemisz

He has played nearly 200 games at the NHL/KHL level since 2006. I don't consider him a prospect.

[Caged Great]

My list

1. Sven - Looks like Marian Hossa
2. Jankowski - Has potential to be a good top 6 player
3. Gaudreau - Could be our Gerbe
4. Horak - Should be a good 3rd/4th liner
5. Arnold - See Horak
6. Sieloff - Max upside Regehr, more likely a Sarich type
7. Reinhart - Could be a 3rd/4th liner, increasingly doubtful he'll be a full time NHLer
8. Granlund - Top 6 or bust. He needs to step it up otherwise I don't think he'll be an NHLer full time
9. Gillies - Goalies are fun to predict....
10. Brossoit - We need someone to go in net after kipper.

All I know is the future looks great for once!!!! I have never been so excited about so many prospects in the same year.

Reinhart will be our Jordan Staal once Jankowski and this upcoming 1st rounder fully develop

Gaudreau looks to have that "special" touch but in no way should he be ahead of Sven on any list just yet.

You say that "in no way" Gaudreau shoud be ranked ahead of Sven but that is simply your opinion. Can you guarantee Sven will be a better player than Guadreau? No, you can't.

That's called dissent and he owns it!

Then I take it you haven't seen much of Abbottsfords games then, correct?

[Pierre "Monster" McGuire]

As dirty as I feel saying this, Reinhart could become our Ryan Kesler.

Wait, let me explain...

Without the diving, ###### attitude, and all that other stuff, Reinhart looks like he's going to be a good two-way guy who can put the puck in the net. Even though he doesn't have a goal this year, he's had so many chances and probably should have at least two goals (just last weekend, Scrivens made an acrobatic stick save to steal a goal from Max).

[Caged Great]

Not one.

Probably means I'm wrong on this as you're inferring that he's doing good.

His point totals can lead some people to believe he is not doing well. But he is one of the most hardworking players on the heat. He is strong on the forecheck, a fast skater and great passer. He is the anchor to the best PK so far in the AHL. Plays some pretty hard minutes. And like PM said, he deserves to have more points then he does. I think his ceiling like a Ryan O'Rielly type of player.

[getbak]

I have a feeling that Reinhart is the kind of guy who will be overshadowed by the flashier players like Sven and Gaudreau on a game-by-game basis, but when the playoffs roll around, he'll be the guy who throws himself in front of a great scoring chance at one end then goes down and puts in the game winner at the other.

His father had the rare ability to take his game to a new level in the playoffs, and was nearly a PPG Playoff defenceman. Watching the Ice on their Memorial Cup run in 2011, Max was able to do that too.

I don't think any of our prospects have the ability to do what Justin did regardless.
