Prospects with NHL experience
 

Hi all,

How would you rank top prospects having at least one game of NHL experience? Because of that criterion, I have to exclude players like Yakupov, Granlund, Hamilton, Huberdeau, Tarasenko, Schwartz, Schultz, etc...

Some examples:

Forwards
Scheifele
Kreider
R.Johansen
B.Connolly
Zibanejad
Kassian
M.Foligno
Atkinson
....

Defensemen
Elliott
R.Ellis
B.Smith
Voynov
Faulk
Orlov
....

Anyone else who should be on the list?
Thanks!

2 guys that have played games and aren't on the list that jump out:

Schwartz
Bartschi

Is there a max GP as well though? your question is pretty vague.

J. Silfverberg

Most likely this is because the draft pool consists only of guys with 1+ NHL game under their belt. The GP limit would depend on the league rules, and that is something we need to know.

Off the top of my head:

Jeremy Welsh
Brandon Pirri
Mark Stone
Gustav Nyquist
Tomas Tatar
Brandon Saad
Joe Colborne

Simon Despres
Torey Krug
Brayden McNabb

My mistake - I forgot that Schwartz had played some games.

The maximum in terms of games played is 50.

In no particular order, the following prospects have NHL experience and less then 50 GP:

Kyle Palmieri
Zac Dalpe
Jeremy Morin
Cody Eakin
Peter Holland
Brett Bulmer
Casey Cizikas
Teemu Hartikainen
Spencer Machacek
Carl Klingberg
Patrice Cormier
Zach Hamill
Riley Sheahan

hes lost a lot of hype but d. rundblad is a pretty decent prospect in my books.

Last year's stats sorted by GP.

Start at 50 and go down, and look for rookies.

Devante Smith-Pelly
Jimmy Hayes
David Ullstrom
Dwight King
Tim Erixon
Carter Ashton
Michael Stone
