July Prospect Rankings -- Good Sleepers

[tcat]

Is 'How close are they to playing in the NHL' factored into the rankings?

It definitely seems that way sometimes and not with others.

Like for example Nick Jensen in the NYR system who is 24 and only played maybe 40 games in the NHL , but seems like one of those guys that just can't make that jump was at 104. He just signed with Jokerit and that will porbably make him drop again.

I just kinda wish there were two separate rankings with guys who have pure potential and then guys who are likely to make the NHL jump soon. Very hard to rank a guy like 3-4 years away but elite skill with guys that project to be 3rd/4th liners side by side.

Oh well, it's still one of the deepest lists you can find for free of prospects rankings

I am am curious as to what people think the KHL would offer Kaprizov for AAV though.

I guess somewhere around $2.5-3M. They throw big money to keep their star players in Russia while depth players get next to nothing but the value of ruble is horrible these days, so that big money doesn't sound so impressive in dollars.
