Prize winners, the losers are the selections of projects of high and subsequent years of reconstruction. That's how it works in the NHL. For the most part.
ESPN.com NHL released its "position of the organization" for 2011 this week (insider-sub. required) or Grant Soni, a scout whose last worked with the Atlanta Thrashers, assessed the depth talent for 30 teams.
From ESPN:
When you look at this list, it is important to remember that different circumstances may affect the level of talent each team, and that the best end of each year, and then you can select the project. In many cases, teams have come out of the top prospects, so that one of the top teams today.
In determining the total number of prospects for each team, we counted the draft choices, signed, or signed, and the players responsible for the reserve lists, that will not break the NHL roster on a regular basis. I'm sure a player up as a possibility, though I think the team plays the NHL on a regular basis, either this season or in future periods.
Outside of a few cases, it is essentially a list of which team has the most NHL-caliber prospects in the pipeline. At the top of the league: Florida Panthers, who have 15 "top prospects" incubator, the No. 3 size Huberdeau choose how Jonathan and Erik Gudbranson (Notes) and goalkeeper-in-waiting, Jacob Markstrom (notes).
When one has not made the playoffs after Clinton, one tends to view or stored in 15 And if you do not believe Panthers important, then you probably have not read a story on its front page on their site about it.
Coming up, a look at the ESPN rankings, including the part we all want to know about: Teams in the worst form when it comes to the depth of talent in their organ-i-zation.
Here is a list of 2011 the organization ESPN.com, and the number of the top prospects from each team.
1. Florida Panthers (15) 7. New York Islanders (11) 13. Buffalo Sabres (8) 19. Boston Bruins (7) 25. Carolina Hurricanes (7)
2. Edmonton Oilers (14) 8. St. Louis Blues (11) 14. Los Angeles Kings (9) 20. Tampa Bay Lightning (8) 26. Nashville Predators (7)
3. Ottawa Senators (14) 9 Colorado Avalanche (9) 15 Philadelphia Flyers (7) 21 Winnipeg Jets (7) 27 Washington Capitals (6)
4th Chicago Blackhawks (14) 10 Dallas Stars (9) 16 New Jersey Devils (8) 22 Toronto Maple Leafs (7) 28 Calgary Flames (6)
5th Detroit Red Wings (13) 11 Montreal Canadiens (10) 17 New York Rangers (8) 23 Pittsburgh Penguins (8) 29 Vancouver Canucks (6)
6. Minnesota Wild (12) 12 Anaheim Ducks (9) 18 Columbus Blue Jackets (7) 24 Phoenix Coyotes (8) 30 San Jose Sharks (6)
For comparison, here are the rankings of the organization of the future of hockey, May 31 Obviously, project and trade affected these spectacular. But rather on the Nashville Predators have gone third in the HF bands of 26 (!) On ESPN in a few months?
The rationale for the last team from ESPN interesting. For the Capitals, ranked No. 27:
Evgeny Kuznetsov (total 26, 2010) is another high-level Russian talent to push for the big club over time. And sooner or later. It is multidimensional and qualified if he would go to the KHL (he said he will stay for now), could eventually make the big club this year. Capitals have not made their first pick in last year to the fourth round and is an important factor in the organization of their classification, as well as the degree of John Carlson (notes) (27, 2008) and Marcus Johansson (notes) ( total 24, 2009), two common in the NHL today.
This was jarring at first, because the capital have long been one of the deepest farm systems in the NHL. Sonier, but stressed that many of the top prospects are now firmly in the NHL, and within the dynamics of their rankings that appear to confirm the list.
But where's Braden Holtby (notes) name in this field, which is one reason Semyon Varlamov (notes) has been consumed? Dmitry Orlov or (notes)? Certainly, the emphasis is on depth here, but the capital seem to have more players in the NHL caliber organization that is ranked No. 27.
As for the fire at No. 28:
The flames measured poorly in these rankings because they have a limited number of peaks in recent years. TJ Brodie (notes) (114th overall. 2008) is close to break after a solid season playing defense in the AHL, but Sven Baertschi (13th overall, 2011) tops the list of prospects with his skating and fluid skillful play. This front could surprise. And soon.
Hard to argue with this, because these had HF rankings at No. 30 in May. But the project had some positive points for the Flames. The victory, now the premium placed on the club by Darryl Sutter in the years left a fairly barren for the feast of Jay, that's why "rebuild or renew?" The question is interesting.
As the Red Wings, Canucks have seen the project of their choosing to limit, supporting the President's Cup every year. Unlike Detroit, did not find much value for the rest of nature. And now the Canucks it feels in your pool perspective. This year's selection - forwards Nicklas Jensen (29 total), and goalkeeper David Honzik (seventy-first general) - to give them a chance to win a lack of depth. Jordan Schroeder (Notes) (22 Overall, 2009) and Cody Hodgson (Notes) (10 th overall, 2008) are coming along slowly, and can not fall again.
It is interesting to note that such a system, which has two players with unlimited potential - Schroeder and Hodgson - could be classified as low. Add Anton Rodin, and the Canucks, while only six of the top prospects from ESPN Count, may deserve a slightly higher position.
But this is about the depth of the deepest and the Canucks are not the minor leagues ... with any other busts, like Sergei Shirokov.
Finally, the shark:
The Sharks are a team that is afraid of selling picks and prospects to get what he wants in the short term. The cost of these movements, such as the acquisition of Brent Burns (notes) in nature, are high-end talent in the pool to prospect the Sharks. It is interesting to note that San Jose is often a means to develop its potential well and several players taken later in the project panned for them. The Sharks could have similar success with 2011 pick Matthew Nieto (47th overall). He could spend up to three years at the University of Boston, but should develop into an offensive attack with good speed and shot a marker.
Another team that traded some blue chippers (Charlie Coyle in nature) and a lot of talent graduated from the AHL team in the NHL. Combine this with a selection of low draft and goalkeeper Alex Stalock (notes) to recover from nerve damage, and the sharks are where they are. HF is very low, too, and that was before Coyle was changed.
Surprises on the list for you? In addition to the Blackhawks and Red Wings with 27 leaflets together (yuck)?
