Interesting thought. I'd like to think I could trade him for a better asset then Smith though. I could be wrong, but I would rather try that route then simply dropping him.

Always looking for gems. I like some names already mentioned. I think I have some in my prospects that were named and others that were not. I remember finding Nieto before a lot of people here knew who he was, and I can't tell you how many people responded with: "Matt who?" and then told me to drop the guy. This has happened to me before with other players, too. So, in some cases, i've been ahead of the curve of popular consensus. I just say that to say, they are out there and you can find them, and don't think you do not have one if people don't know who they are; otherwise, he may not be a gem. Even still, they are prospects and we don't know if they are gems until they actually pan out in the NHL ;-)

not all going to be great players but i think all will make the big show within the next 2-3 years

Definitely.wouldn't count on that. Not even gonna guess who won't ever make it but the odds that all these guys play in the NHL one day are probably pretty low.

just an fyi, I have a Black Aces piece that I'm writing up to show who I think is each team's most underrated/"hidden gem" type prospect. Should be done Part 1 this week if anyone is interested!

When you talk prospects, I listen.

Looking forward to it, Evan!

Agreed. I always enjoy reading his thoughts on prospects. I'll be reading it.

I will certainly be looking forward to that. Thanks for the list too. I used it and grabbed Mike Reilly. Certainly worth taking a risk on, even if he's a few years away.
