BD Gallof: NY Islanders 5th Overall in Cory Pronman’s NHL farm system rankings

He’s clearly sleeping on Sorokin because he might still be the best name on this list but he gets forgotten about because we still don’t know when or even if he’s coming. But he’s the best prospect in the sport at his position and we should be exhausting every possible option to get him here.

I'd say Carter Hart and Ilya Samsonov are better prospects right now, but if he can come over and continue doing what he's done so far, he's definitely a top goalie prospect.

Grate blog bD!! Many good poinst

What happened to Dal Colle, wasn't he a good prospect for you guys?

Pronman put him on the "HAVE A CHANCE" list but doesn't look good.

Okay. Then we have a difference of opinion.

All of those 4 guys looks elite right now... If more than 2 of them makes it, I'm surprised.

Goalies

Ho-sang is kinda low on this list... 22 points in 43 games in the NHL... I know he’s got a bad attitude, but if he grows up he has good skill to be a top 6 winger

True, goalies are a crap shoot for the most part.

Im not sure who termed him a good prospect, but he, like other Snow draft picks, were "good character" guys, without an NHL first step.

Time will tell, but literally at every level of hockey he's had attitude problems. That transfers over to your game. I hope im wrong here, but im not sure he has the ability to be team first and cut the sh!t.

Yeah but I dont think he actually wrote anything, just quoted someone else.

No they’re really not. TSN had him ranked top goalie. And he’s been clearly a better goalie than both the past 3 years

hasn't taken it to the next level.

Hasn’t really taken it to any level. Hopefully he bags groceries better than he plays hockey

They’re far more accurate the past 10 years predicting the trajectory of goalies than they used to be.

Reminds me a lot of Evander Kane.

Could be a good to great player, but on the outside looking in with his teammates.

This is why most teams passed on Ho Sang, and while we're at it Kiril Kabanov as well

Doesn't matter, Islanders are a dumpster fire. Right when you think they have things moving in the right direction, wham! Back to square one. They will mismanage these assests and the ones who become elite won't resign and the rebuild will go on for another 25 years.

Lou’s been GM for 3 months. Hahahaha. This is more than ridiculous. I don’t even have the verbiage for how stupid this sounds.

I think with all these prospects and our current roster, i think all will be very surprised that isles are better than everyone will think,
I think its comical that experts thing for starters Tavares will suddenly vault to 90+ players playing with Marner and Hyman. I mean is that a significant upgrade over Lee and Bailey. Has Tavares getting better or is he slowing down? I think its the latter.

News Flash - Matthews is in 3rd season and already better than him. all the people that said tavares wasnt surrounded with alot of talent during his tenure as isles. Last year he had Barzal, Lee, Eberle arent enough talent?


Here are 5 centers better than JT right now - McDavid, Crosby, Malkin, Matthews, Scheifele, Stamkos, Kopitar, Benn, Seguin, bergeron, Mckinnon, Barkov, Eichel. i probably missing more. those are just off top of my head.

Here is a prediction - Jack Eichel will have more points than Tavares and will be top 5 in NHL this year.
