2009 NHL Draft prospects ratings

[Hensel]

-1 Potential will be between 1-20 (the worst young players, they will likely retire at a young age and keep getting recycled back into the regen pool)

-4 Potential will be between 50-80
-5 Potential will be between 70-100

-7 Potential will be between 110-140 (quite rare - a good prospect with a decent chance of being a regular NHL player)
-8 Potential will be between 130-160 (rare - a top prospect with a good chance of being a talented NHL player)
-9 Potential will be between 150-180 (very rare - a top 10 prospect who is considered a can't miss NHL talent)
-10 Potential will be between 170-200 (extremely rare - the top player available in a draft, but not every year)

Just my opinion of the first round picks and their potential, if you guys agree enough I'll do the 2nd round and so on and so fourth. Please feel free to voice your opinion if you feel a player or players are under/overrated.

Sorry, but you are way off with your ratings.

Using your ratings would (at best) only put 20 players of that draft year into NHL, which is way too low.

I've got the ratings covered already, but thanks for trying to help.

[Hensel]

fail.

I think that all the guy should be altlest -8

[getzlaf15]

Yeah. Tavares and Hedman for me are -10s. I'd say most of them are -9's... But it's hard to predict the future, so -15s are normally the best way to do it...

Of course i have never seen this guys enough to evaluate them properly, and it's hard to compare them to others when they don't play in the NHL...
