10 Prospects that should have been

So Now that I have vented my spleen everywhere, in no particular order here's who I thought should have been picked instead of your Raffls and your Jensens;

Morrissey-D Wpg: Offense first d-man almost made Jets out of camp. Was ppg in the WHL, and key part of Draisaitl's sucess.

Theodore-D Ana.: Offense first defender has John Carlson skillset.

Mathews-C USNTDP: Likely top pick in 2016, may not be 'next Crosby', but should be a future #1C. Downside? You'd have to be willing to burn two years.

Rattie-R StL: Brad Marchand type of point scoring rat.

Tkachev-R QMJHL: 'Vladdy Hockey' is a tiny dynamo but will need another year in the Q after going undrafted. Already blitzing the league offensively, the only downside is that he is a true flyweight ala Steve Kariya.

Kylington-D SEL: The Pietrangelo to Hanifin's Doughty.

N.Ritchie-L ANA: I confess, I just love the dancing monsters. He's already 6'3, 225, with decent top end speed. Unlike his brother Brett, Nick combines his size and power has a strong set of offensive skills including stickhandling and shot. The next Bertuzzi.

Chychrun-D OHL: in 2016 we can expect to hear Chychrun's name early. Shea Weber type.

Poirier-R Cgy: big, strong, soft hands, tough, and blazing speed. Geoff Courtnall type.

B.Schenn-C PHA: Highly touted prospect stalling in Pha, but with lots of time left to hit a very high ceiling.

All true but as the fourth center of the Knights Templar has the chronic disadvantage of not having been available.
