I had to project a few, and they aren’t in order. Here are the top 20 in my opinion: Ryan O’Reilly – 33rd overall in 2009 – Colorado – 532 points in 772 games and one
72 Rangers beat the 82 Islanders in Franchise Hockey Manager 6 Showdown Hockeyology by Russ_Cohen - December 24, 2019December 24, 20190 I love the “what if” factor in simulated games like FHM6. I always wondered what would happen if the 1972 Rangers played the 1982 Islanders. That Rangers team was one of the best who never won a championship and that Islanders team destroyed the Vancouver Canucks in the Stanley Cup. Here

Don’t Credit AV for the Travis Konecny Surge Hockeyology by Russ_Cohen - December 5, 2019December 5, 20190 Travis Konecny was always on a collision course with being an All-Star type winger. This didn’t start with Alain Vigneault and it won’t end with him either. Going back to his Ottawa 67’s days he was an exciting player who could score the exciting goal but also elevate his linemates.
Askarov Makes His KHL Debut Hockeyology by Russ_Cohen - December 2, 2019December 2, 20190 Yaroslav Askarov is hotly tipped as the next great Russian goaltending talent – and the 17-year-old lived up to his potential with a game-winning performance on his KHL debut for SKA.

The 2017 NHL Draft Still Holds A Lot of Intrigue Hockeyology by Russ_Cohen - November 27, 2019November 27, 20190 At the time I liked Nolan Patrick as the #1 but that didn't happen. I still support my selection. He’s not as good as Nico Hischier at this moment. Again, these players are only 21 (Hischier will turn 21 in January). That’s why Flyers fans need to be patient. Things

However, under Craig MacTavish and now Mike Pelino, he was out of
Princeton vs. RPI Prospect Report Hockeyology by Russ_Cohen - November 16, 2019November 16, 20190 RPI Todd Burgess – 6-2, 175 – RW – The senior looked fantastic. He’s faster, has excellent stick and puck control and made a beautiful pass to set up a bang-bang goal around the net. He is a clutch point-producer. I would think the Ottawa Senators would want to sign him. Simon
