No idea for top 10 but Tolvanen and Zadina stand out for me.
Top 10 prospects in the AHL right now (based on NHL potential). Who's on your list?
No idea for top 10 but Tolvanen and Zadina stand out for me.
If you want, you can split it into top 10 forwards, top 5 defensemen, and top 3 goalies.
I'm not sure I can provide a top ten list...but FWIW, here are few names I'm interested in (not in any particular order):
Brannstrom
Tolvanen
Steel
Zadina
Abramov
(ok, maybe that is in order of my preference )
12 team, H2H, salary cap
1 pt/G or A, 2 pts/W, 1 pt/OTL, 1 pt/SO
Forward: B. Point, M. Necas, A. Debrincat, T. Zegras, J. Bratt, L. Raymond
Defense: J. Morrissey, A. DeAngelo, S. Gostisbehere, D. Doughty
Goalie: T. Demko, E. Merzlikins
Bench: M. Rossi, C. Glass, M. Maccelli, M. Dumba, K. Shattenkirk, F. Andersen
Prospects of Note: L. Stankoven, J. Lekkerimaki, D. Yurov, B. Clarke
League has been running continuously since 1997-98
So far, Tolvanen and Necas have looked a lot better from what I've seen than Zadina. Even though he was older, Zadina didn't seem to be a force at WJC this year either, though he could have still been slightly injured.
I think a lot of people would put those three in the top 3 or 4. I'm interested to see how people round out their list of top 10 AHL forwards.
In no order to go along with the two hockeyrobot named: Necas, Brannstrom, Batherson, Kyrou, Steel, Myers, Gurianov, Nylander, Kostin, Kuokkanen, Sikura, Sandin are some good prospects playing well in the AHL this year

Troy Terry was on this list until he got called up yesterday
I'll add - might not be on everyone's top 10 - but very notable prospects at least:
Alex Barre-Boulet
Victor Olaffson
Drake Batherson
Jeremy Bracco
