Gabe Perrault ranked 4A while Eduard Sale not ranked. Rangers took him 3 picks after Sale in 2023.
Lane Hutson ranked 4B, taken by the Habs 1 pick after Goyette in 2022. At least Goyette got honorable mention on this list.
*Hello darkness my old friend*
The Athletic plays way too fast and loose with the term prospect. Like half the dudes on that list have already played 1-2 full seasons in the NHL. Young =/= prospect.
Now all that said, I don’t disagree with their assessment of Berniers and Catton.
3rd line center upside for Wright seems a little ungenerous. It’s an outside analyst being quoted, but still.
