Reply With QuoteI am wondering about Raddysh... is he really not top 50? I have only seen him play for Team Canada at the juniors. Not the best skater.... but his scoring is not worth a top 50?
Craig Button's Top 50 NHL-Affiliated Prospects NOT in the NHL
Saw this list posted on TSN yesterday
http://www.tsn.ca/test1-1.677389
Always interesting, always creates discussion, controversy with Button's discretion & subjectivism.
The glaring omission to me was Ryan Pulock. Also thought it was interesting Kaprizov is 5th on the list, one spot ahead of Puljujarvi & that Honka & Theodore are in the 30's

Re: Craig Button's Top 50 NHL-Affiliated Prospects NOT in the NHL
We all might remember his brutal expansion draft picks for Vegas, so I'd take this list with a grain of salt (as lucafen says).
DeBrincat at #23 is perhaps my biggest eyebrow raiser...

Re: Craig Button's Top 50 NHL-Affiliated Prospects NOT in the NHL
I have really mixed feelings about Raddysh's NHL upside... but now that you mention it his teammate - debrincat didn't make the cut either. on pace for his 3rd straight 50G season in the O.Originally Posted by PenguinHunter

Yeah he did and I think he's too high.
Nice to see Ottawa get a lot of respect here. We have a very good prospect pool right now.

Not sure, but maybe the list was limited to prospects 21yo and under....otherwise, would Nikita Gusev not be top 10 at least? Where would you guys rank him?

Re: Craig Button's Top 50 NHL-Affiliated Prospects NOT in the NHL
just skimmed the list but seems like it's pretty influenced by world junior performances
Re: Craig Button's Top 50 NHL-Affiliated Prospects NOT in the NHL
I agree with this.
But also no Jost on the list has me scratching my head, and there could have been a spot for McLeod. Also I think D. Strome is waaaaaaaaaaay too high.
Edit: then I go check the list and realize he is on there haha. n00b
But good list none the less

I can't list my 2nd main keeper as there are too many players, but it is a keep all H2H points-only league
Re: Craig Button's Top 50 NHL-Affiliated Prospects NOT in the NHL
Not a big fan of this list. Than again we all would have something bad to say about any list I think
Re: Craig Button's Top 50 NHL-Affiliated Prospects NOT in the NHL
If that was the case boeser would be much lower
- - - Updated - - -
Jost is #15
Re: Craig Button's Top 50 NHL-Affiliated Prospects NOT in the NHL
That's a bit too high but not so bad in my opinion.
I believe that list is about NHL projections and not fantasy hockey. Then again not sure he would crack top-10 on a fantasy hockey list either. I probably wouldn't have him on my top-50 either.
Why exactly is Strome too high? He should be #1 on that list in my opinion. I don't see anyone else on the list with better NHL projection than him. Some players might be flashier than him but I believe he will be the most valuable NHL player from that list.
Re: Craig Button's Top 50 NHL-Affiliated Prospects NOT in the NHL
I personally like this list. Obviously I have some differing opinions but overall I like it.
I don't subscribe to some players that get hyped up with gaudy junior totals, and it seems like Button is the same. Him and I are often on the same page for a number of guys.
Jake Virtanen in the 40's pre draft 2014... bang on! HE definitely has his misses too, like we all do though.

Re: Craig Button's Top 50 NHL-Affiliated Prospects NOT in the NHL
Yeah I agre,e for example I think his sprong ranking is bang on.
Re: Craig Button's Top 50 NHL-Affiliated Prospects NOT in the NHL
That was my initial thought, until Raddysh was not included...
