One item of interest in this ranking is Hoglander (2nd) rated higher than Podkolzin (3rd).

Anyway, a long ways to go until we see whether these prospects turn out but, for now, the future looks pretty bright.
That is a damn fine collection of prospects i have to say.

Man...why isnt it fall yet. Cant wait

Canucks prospect Jett Woo is crediting his confidence for his improved offensive game as well as his teammates in Calgary. The 19-year-old defenceman is aware that in order for him to reach the next level, every aspect of his game needs to improve.

Actually it was his Moose Jaw teammates he was praising.

I think the often repeated phrases over the last 5 years of "we don't have sufficient depth" and "don't have the assets to do a meaningful trade" can be put to rest.

2019 5th rounder Carson Focht is having a heckuva showing in the Summer showcase.

https://www.vancourier.com/pass-it-to-b ... 1.23864629

via canucks prospects:
It has been good to watch Carson Focht play today. He fits at the WJSS level pretty easily.

Speed, compete, winning board battles, solid hands, winning draws. I can see why he was invited.

Could see him make some noise at main camp in December.

This Focht looks like a steal. It’s Benning, I’m not surprised.

When youre up all night paging for blow you tend to not be suprised by much i guess :lol:

Lets see some on ice success before we start annointing 2nd tier prospects as steals.

That said...trending very well

I can just hear ol' Mike Gillis quoting McLean and McLean as he signed the last of the NMC contracts.
