Better than I expected honestly..
It could be worse, they could also not have their own first round pick until 2028.

We need a full rebuild, not a retool. It’s unfortunate but true. This team never got past the second round and now has aging players and limited assets.
Not surprising; around where I would expect. But a little sad that they’re disrespecting Ben Danford and William Belle so much.
Ooof
Wheeler is a tool, but in this case, likely accurate.
Can’t say I agree with Nansi over Holinka. Don’t get me wrong, I like Nansi, he’s young, he’s got high risk, high reward potential, we’ve seen him be great this year, and we’ve seen him slump this year. He could work hard, improve his skating, and put it all together. That said, Holinka’s a consistent, defensively responsible player who’s also one of the top scorers on his team. I get betting on high ceilings but Nansi’s been way too inconsistent for me to consider him one of our best prospects.
Edmonton (30th), Dallas (31st), and Florida (32nd) are the teams with a lower ranked prospect system.
If management decides to retool we are going to end up like the Rangers. If only Tre didn’t trade our draft picks for plugs. I’m all for keeping Matthews/Nylander/Tavares but everyone else not young should be on the table

Narrative review. Call them poor and bad and that’s how they’ll turn out. Useless media again.
How many years was Buffalo top 3 in this?
Perfect for a rebuilding franchise
It could be worse…
I’m not sure how but it could be I guess
Well yeah it’s pretty bad when you can name all three prospects who are at all relevant and then you trade one of them away for Carlo lol.
I miss dubas….
If we pull off our tank, this is one thing we’ll be able to fix. A top 5 pick is truly valuable.

This team is definitely the Titanic
No Hlacar or Fellinger?
You’re telling me that guys who put up 7 and 8 points in their draft years don’t just make it onto the list because they are 6’4 and 6’3? I guess the 11 and 15 points they jumped up to this year just weren’t enough…
I know they are 6th and 7th round picks, but they felt like punts at that time, and they haven’t done anything to make anyone think otherwise of them. I can’t believe we used what little draft capital we have on 2 guys that could have been undrafted invites if we liked them so much, because they weren’t even ranked by CSB.
Wheeler is an idiot. That’s all I have to add to this.
I dont put much stock into these.
LA was repeatedly at the top for years. Basically none of their players panned out.
Around 2020-2022, we were consistently a top 10 prospect team, and we have had one fucking player come out of the system – Knies. That is it. Maybe Robertson too. 0 Defencemen.
Looking at this list makes me livid with this incompetent management. Giving out like 8 of the past 10 first rounders for what? Back to square fucking one.
If it’s out of 100 thats great news
Overrated at that…
Gonna look a lot better when we draft McKenna hahah
