CBJ Preliminary AHL Prospect Rankings

1. Taylor Hall - Hasn't lost any ground since being selected first overall in the NHL entry draft. All-world skill plus heart equates to a superstar.
2. Jeff Skinner - Leapfrogged Seguin due to stellar play in NHL up to this date. Smooth skater with nifty touch around the cage.
3. Tyler Seguin - Places third because of lack of playing time to show skills.
4. Cam Fowler - Absolutely stellar defender much more deserving of this ranking than 12th overall (In NHL entry)
5. Jordan Eberle - Captain clutch has magic hands and should be a consistent AHL producer.
6. Derek Stepan - Captain of gold medal winning U.S. junior team having a solid rookie season in NHL.
7. Magnus Paajarvi - (Can you tell there is an Oiler bias??) MPS has yet to break out in the NHL but has all of the raw skills to become a force on LW in the AHL.
8. Alexander Burmistrov - Not your typical Russian, totally committed to playing in NA, having stellar rookie season after proving he could make the adjustment in Barrie.
9. Oliver Ekman-Larsson - Has been up and down between the minors, pedigree is there.
10. P.K. Subban - Brash young defender has legitimate NHL skill, can he put it all together?
