3. Curious from a year to year basis how many of these top 100 ranked prospects actually become great nhlers. Even if we hit on half of these guys(plus the two coming up firsts, and more we get from offloading pags and Lee) we will be in a good spot to really build something. Isles will have some good veterans and some nice young guns

4. From everything that we see/hear I would expect Prokhorov to show up on that list in short order

5. Five of the top 34 certainly seems hopeful, even if we know all products don’t become useful players.

6. I can’t think of the last time we had this many high ranked prospects.

7. Now you’ve done it Mr. Athletic. Damn you to hell.

8. Eklund sliding makes the dobber trade a lot more acceptable
