Prospect Report - Anaheim Ducks

For our first of many Prospect Reports, we shall be talking about the Anaheim Ducks. Three of our writers took a look at the Anaheim prospects, ranked them, and marked them. The Marks are as follows: 10 = Gretzky, 9 = Crosby, 8 = Top 6 F/Top 2 D, 7= 3rd/4th line F or 2nd/3rd line D, 6= 4th line F/AHL or 3rd line D/AHL and 5 or below is AHL or other leagues. The Letter represents how sure we are of our mark with A being Very sure down to F being Not very sure. For your understanding a to be in these prospect rankings the player must be below the age of 26, must have played less than 100 NHL games total, and must not have played one full season (70+ games in a single season). The writers who marked the prospects for this article are Greg komarnicky, Josh Daniels and Luke Rachar.
