The GOOD :thumbsup:
Took a look around a think teams like :COL-NHL: :NAS: :OTT: :MON-NHL: :FLO: :MIN-NHL: :NJD: :WIN: :CLS: even :CAR-NHL: rank in my top 10 for the list for balance and FNHL-ready prospects.
...
:OTT: just got a little better with their recent trade.
:MON-NHL: has a surprisingly good MiLR.
:LAK: would've thought they had more prospects but they've also called up a few really good ones on recent yrs.
I think :STL-NHL: had a great MiLR as well but they've cashed in a bunch of blue chip prospects in the past 2 seasons but they still have a few great kids in their system including Max Domi!
My :FLO: rebuilt the minors back in 2011 when we took over. One of the 1st things I did. We had great prospects to start with including Markstrom, Nick Bjugstad and added from there.
The UGLY :puke:
On the flip side, some teams have barely anything left in the cupboard or feature a cast of forgotten nobodies destined for the KHL. LOL
:ANA: harboring 6 players but Ducks have been calling up prospects regularly so it's no wonder
:PHI-NHL: only has 6 guys mostly oldies
:VAN: I don't recognize many players aside from recent draft pk Zach Fucale
:NYR: could've nicknamed their MiLR the "Unknowns" LOL
:PHO: 10 guys mostly names I haven't read about
I gotta say :ANA: :VAN: :PHI-NHL: worry me a little but they've all had/have good knowledgeable owners. A few trades here and they will restock their farm system easily... so no sweat! :toast:
I do wonder about :NYR: MiLR because they've pretty much autopicked the last few drafts and haven't really grabbed the best talent in the various draft classes (aside from 1 or 2 guys). Time will tell what direction they go once they get a new owner but if they're still League Owned next draft be sure we'll actively handpick their MILR prospects in 2014. But I do hope to find them a new owner sooner than later. :judge:
