It took a while to pinpoint how a team that hasnt had a playoff appearance in almost eight years cant seem to impress the masses when it comes to its prospects.

No team took to the trade route to beef up their prospect cupboard as much as the Rangers, who for the first time in 14 years appear committed to a lengthy rebuild. The law of averages says respectability is the worst-case scenario for a team that has accumulated as many blue-chip prospects as Ottawa has. NHL readiness and experience Generally speaking, a player who is among the best team performers in the AHL usually is one of the first to receive an in-season promotion. Typically a losing franchiseinjects youth into the lineup for more than only a handful of games, but for whatever reason, the Oilers continued to ice a veteran roster even after the playoffs were a forgone conclusion.

Franchise center John Tavares bid adieu to the Isles, leaving the team in the hands of 21-year-old star Mathew Barzal. That roster included rookie goalie Jordan Bennington, a third-round pick in 2011, who this postseason produced a Conn Smythe-worthy performance.

But incoming GM Lou Lamoriello has a history of rebuilding teams from the ground up, and with Barzal as the centerpiece, the Islanders own several blue-chip prospects whoshould limit the amount of suffering the fan base is expected to experience. The biggest improvement, however, is on defense, where they have amassed quality puck movers whoactually know how defend. Additionally, there is a significant amount of speed up front, beginning with Jesper Boqvist, 2016 first rounder Mike McLeodand AHL-proven winger Brandon Gignac, who was one of the top scorers on a thin Binghamton squad. In 2016, they picked Matthew Tkachuk in the first roundbut also scored with future top-9 Dillon Dube in the second round, then unearthed a gem with since-traded Adam Fox in the third.

Ranking all 31 NHL prospect pipelines: Kings leapfrog Rangers for No. Even after trading away Aleksi Saarela to Chicago, the Canes still own four dual-threat forwards from Finland and Eetu Luostarinen may be the best, as he was a consistent point producer as a top-line player in the SM-Liiga. The waters are far from murky, however, as they have two of the AHL's best youngsters in late-round 2015 draftees Sami Niku and Mason Appleton, in addition to owning elite Finnish sniper Kristian Vesalainen. 4.

Despite some recent graduations and trades of the Rays top prospects, they still have a solid farm system and are one of the best in the league in developing talent. Also. Beyond their prized swift-skating American is a phenomenal two-way defenseman in Ty Smith, a first-round selection in 2018 who dazzled in training camp a year ago. a top-six forward, top-four defenseman or long-term starting goaltender). Graduated: Miro Heiskanen (LHD), Roope Hintz (LW) Benning and staff also scooped up feisty forward Nils Hoglander from Swedenand speedy center Tyler Madden from Northeastern who tied for fourth in freshman scoring in Hockey East. The move proved critical, as it allowed the Jets to bolster the top of the prospect pool with Ville Heinola, the purest offenseman the franchise has ever drafted, and his dynamic skating ability and impressive shot power will compliment the skilled wingers with the parent club. As for the future, defenseman Callan Foote, 21, is tough, consistent and solid on both offense and defense. Traded/not signed: Pavel Koltygin (C), Emil Pettersson (C, ARI), Karel Vejmelka (G). Traded/not signed: Chase Priskie (RHD, FA-CAR). So with all that in mind, I give you early look at the Consolidated Draft Rankings for the 2021 Entry Draft. The Ducks' profile is driven by the presence of one high-end talent in Trevor Zegras, who was picked ninth overall in 2019 andtopped B/R's recent listof the league's best prospects. Elsewhere, it's a pair of goalies on the rise: University of Maine standout Jeremy Swayman and Kyle Keyser, who spent his 2019-20 in the AHL and ECHL. 1. He had spent 27 games with the Kings' affiliate in the AHL and amassed six goals and eight assists, adjusting well to the North American game thanks to his speed and grit.

Now that the dust has settled, the state of Kekalainens prospect pool isnt as depleted as one would think, albeit a tad top-heavier than a year ago. Goaltending also was part of the teams success this year and 2017 first-rounder Jake Oettinger appears to be the favorite to shadow Ben Bishop until the starting job is his. Some believechampionship rosters can be constructed through formulas and analytic innovation, while others lean towardthe old school method of eyeballing the kids who stand out and getting them to buy into a culture that focuses on exceeding expectations rather than simply meeting them. Key additions: Brett Leason (RW), Connor McMichael (C),Bobby Nardella (LHD, UDFA), Joe Snively (LW) Behind Petersen are Lukas Parik, David Hrenakand Matt Villalta who is alikely candidate to spend the upcoming seasonwith the AHLs Ontario Reign. Traded/not signed:Kyle Olson (C),Marcus Pettersson (LHD, PIT). The Sharks more than make-up for their trading of valuable assets by spanning the globe in search of late-round gems andundrafted free agents either coveted or obscure. But count on Ron Hextall as being one of the few who has been patient enough to actually go through with the process of stockpiling picks and allowing them to develop properly. The Blackhawks' season was the hockey equivalent of a cold shower, as they missed the playoffs for the first time in 10 years. Slick center Rasmus Kupari was one of the top teenage point producers in the SM-Liiga, and second rounders Akil Thomas (2018) and Arthur Kaliyev (2019) were two of only nine 100-point scorers in the OHL last season. Still, the addition of two young stars in power forward Dylan Cozens and smooth puck rusher Ryan Johnson are acceptable consolation prizes for the aforementioned promotions of Rasmus Dahlin and Casey Mittelstadt, who spent all of last season in the NHL. Point production a prospects development can be measured in a variety of ways, but their production on the traditional or analytic scoresheet always represents the lowest-hanging fruit. Graduated: None In addition to Byfield, the team has five other A-rated prospects and 10 B-rated prospects, both coming in as high-water marks for our entire ranking. Almost bydefault, Poulin automatically vaults to the top of the prospect depth chart, one which has been thinned in recent years via deadline deals and draft-day hijinks. Janne Kuokkanen, who arrived from Carolina for Sami Vatanen. On the bright side, the Oilers AHL farm team in Bakersfield had its best season since moving from Oklahoma City in 2015. They also moved their first pick of 2016 in the Martin Jones trade, and took a huge gamble this year by taking troubled two-way defender Ryan Merkley at 20th overall. Traded/not signed: Jarret Tyszka (LHD),Scott Walford (LHD). Graduated: None And if Demko doesn't pan out, Michael DiPietro is a solid goalie prospect. Furthermore, 2017 first-round selection Urho Vaakanainen appears to be developing nicely as a future top-four defenderand there are several speed merchants in the system such as Jakub Lauko, a third-rounder in 2018 who impressed at several training camps. With a great high end of the pool, the Rangers also boast pool depth with a number of players who should figure into their near future. Although they lost 2017 first-rounder Robert Thomas to graduation, St. Louis has every reason to be excited about speedster Jordan Kyrou, who notched 43 points in 47 games as an AHL rookie with San Antonio. The top four scoring defensemen on theirAHL affiliate in Chicago that eventually went to the Calder Cup Final Erik Brannstrom, Nicolas Hague, Dylan Coghlanand Zach Whitecloud all are under 22-years-old. Both Bahl and Soderstrom could be top-pairing defenders for their respective nations at the world juniors. It looks like both will be off the opening-night roster for the fifth consecutive year. Nylander, on the other hand, has game-breaking potentialbut his time as Sabres property was nothing short of underwhelming. 4 pick in 2019, defenseman Bowen Byram, is 6'1" and 190 pounds and scored 52 points in 50 games in his third full season in the WHL.
