Oskar Olausson and Jean-Luc Foudy both play for the Colorado Eagles of the AHL and Foudy even earned a nine-game tryout at the NHL level this year when the Avs were experiencing some of the worst injury luck any team has seen this year.
Now that they have, the Avalanche’s prospects cupboards are looking pretty bare, especially considering how many of their prospects and draft picks they traded on their way to the Stanley Cup last year. Colorado Avalanche Previous Ranking: 31 Top Five Prospects: Oskar Olausson, Jean-Luc Foudy, Sean Behrens, Justus Annunen, Alex BeaucageĬolorado’s prospect pool looked a lot better about a year ago when Bowen Byram and Alex Newhook hadn’t broken out as full-time NHLers quite yet. He’s exactly the kind of young, affordable depth piece that the Lightning have found so much success with recently so expect to see him crack the lineup in the next year or so. Thompson was electric in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) last year and has adapted well to the AHL this year. Tampa also has Jack Thompson waiting for his shot in the NHL.
I doubt they regret it though since a poor prospect pool is temporary and Championship banners are forever.ĭespite only using two of their own first-round picks between 20, the Lightning have a handful of solid prospects including 2022 first-rounder Isaac Howard who had a slow start this year as a college freshman playing for the University of Minnesota-Duluth but has started to show some improvements on offense especially. They have gone all in for several years now, and that won’t end anytime soon considering they’ve already traded away their 20 1st round picks in the trade that landed them Brandon Hagel from the Chicago Blackhawks. The Tampa Bay Lightning have been to the Stanley Cup Final for three consecutive seasons, winning the Stanley Cup twice in that span. Tampa Bay Lightning Previous Ranking: 28 Top Five Prospects: Jack Thompson, Isaac Howard, Hugo Alnefelt, Dylan Duke, Niko Huuhtanen 15.” (From: “Pronman: 2019-20 NHL Farm System Rankings”). A goalie no longer qualifies as an NHL prospect if he has played 10 games in the NHL in any campaign, regular season and playoffs combined, or 25 games total or reaches age 25 by Sept. “A skater no longer qualifies as an NHL prospect if he has played 25 games in the NHL in any campaign, regular season and playoffs combined, or 50 games total or reaches age 25 by Sept. Players are listed in no particular order. I will be using Corey Pronman’s definition of “prospect” for this, so if you’re confused about why players like Dylan Guenther or Quinton Byfield aren’t on the list, this is why. Much like the top 100 prospects, this ranking is going to be based on the quality and potential of each team’s prospect pool.
