These rankings will tend to favour players who we perceive to have high ceilings over those who are more projectable as replacement-level or slightly above NHLers. Each player is given a likelihood of achieving a pre-defined series of ceilings and an impact factor is applied to each of these ceilings. The sum of these results provides us with an overall ranking for the player.
Unlike some other prospect lists, we don't generally skew upward or downward for position -- if we think a goalie is likely to work out then we have no problem putting him at or near the top of our list.
February 15th update: Luke Schenn's struggles start to concern Leaf fans. Mueller quietly having a great season with the Marlies. McKegg lighting it up since the trade to London. Josh Leivo is a prospect that the Leafs shouldn't forget about -- better than PPG on a pretty average scoring team in Sudbury.
February 28th update: Carter Ashton joins the Leafs and brings an element of size to the Leafs group.
June 23rd update: Leafs add a couple good prospects in Rielly and Finn, as well as James Van Riemsdyk, a powerforward type with the ability to score 30 goals.
