Pre-draft Prospect Rankings - 25-Jun-04
Written by: LGP Prospects Staff

The somewhat anticipated and long-delayed pre-draft prospect rankings are here!

After an improbable run to the Calder Cup Finals and some professional debuts by players such as Ryan Whitney and Ondrej Nemec, our rankings have changed a bit. Still, there's a clear number 1.

A prospect is defined as a player 24 years old or younger (as of 03/01/2004), with less than 100 games of NHL experience as a forward/defenseman, or 40 games as a goaltender.
