Corey Pronman is working through his annual rankings of young talent by organization. He did it a bit differently this year, basically scrapping the requirement that players that had played X number of games in the NHL were ineligible. Essentially this turns the rankings from a "prospect" ranking to a "young talent" ranking. I assume that has helped the Blues as Thomas, Kyrou etc. are eligible for this list. Essentially it includes any player who was draft eligible in 2016 through today. Not sure if there are more caveats. I'll be curious to see where the Blues check in after some of their prospects have departed or cooled off.
He's doing a reverse countdown, and has gotten up to 21.
21. Anaheim Ducks
22. Florida Panthers
23. Boston Bruins
24. Vegas Golden Knights
25. Tampa Bay Lightning
26. Edmonton Oilers
27. New York Islanders
28. San Jose Sharks
29. Nashville Predators
30. Pittsburgh Penguins
31. Washington Capitals
Re: Pronman's Organizational Rankings
2Surprised Anaheim only checks in at 21. Trevor Zegras alone makes their group strong, although some of their other young talent (Terry, Steel, etc.) haven't exactly wowed at the NHL level.
Re: Pronman's Organizational Rankings
3Blues check in at #20. No surprise, the top 4 is made up of Thomas, Kyrou, Perunovich and Kostin in that order.

Re: Pronman's Organizational Rankings
4I feel like Thomas and Kyrou have been on the prospect rankings for 15 years now while at the same time being in the league for 5 years nowDave's a mess wrote: Mon Aug 31, 2020 11:22 am Blues check in at #20. No surprise, the top 4 is made up of Thomas, Kyrou, Perunovich and Kostin in that order.
