Just noticed the Hockeysfuture ratings on our new prospects are out

With 10.0 being generational talent, 9.0 being elite talent, 8.0 being first line/pairing talent, 7.0 being 2nd line/pairing talent, etc. Also with A meaning almost guarenteed to reach potential, B meaning strong chance to reach potential (possibly dropping 1 rating), C meaning may reach potential (may drop 2 ratings), etc.

Travis Sanheim 7.5C
Nicolas Aube-Kubel 7.0C
Mark Friedman 7.0C
Oskar Lindblom 6.5C
Radel Fasleev 6.5C
Jesper Pettersson 6.0D

They generally land in the ballpark when a player does make it to the big league.
Here are some Flyers ratings from when they were still prospects on the site:

Giroux - 8.5A
Voracek - 7.5B
Read - 7.0A
Simmonds - 7.0A
Couturier - 8.0C
B.Schenn - 8.5C
Raffl - 6.5B
L.Schenn - 7.5A
MacDonald - 7.0B
Coburn - 7.0A
Rinaldo 5.0A

Laughton is a 7.5B, and Morin is a 7.5C

That's after a couple junior seasons though. G wasn't an 8.5 right after being drafted. Those rankings are pretty accurate though

Yeah, they update the ratings at least every year. G started out as a 7.0C or 7.5C, iirc.

Yup, very true. Hopefully Morin will go up a bit after more updates. Coburn was actually a 7.0, just fixed that. Laughton is probably pretty close to his final rating update.
