Well it's not necessarily the best way of ranking, but a few interesting quotes:[Q]The Big Red's top line of freshman prospects Matt Moulson (PIT) and Byron Bitz (BOS) along with senior non-prospect Ryan Vesce account for a combined 31 points (14 goals, 17 assists).[/Q][Q]Despite having 13 NHL prospects on their roster, Harvard is getting scoring from only half of them thus far. Furthermore, no Crimson player has points in the double digits.[/Q]Our prospects (and non-prospect [ I wonder how Ryan likes that label ]) beat your prospects. So take that.::scared::

He probably would have preferred the term "non-draftee".  Under the definition the article uses, Senja wasn't a prospect.

I'm sure Moulson likes the label "freshman prospect," too.

It's no big deal...Clarkson's Dave taylor was not considered a "prospect" either back in '73.    :-D

Safer to call him a "freshman prospect."  Last time we had a "sophomore prospect" he bolted for the Valley of the Sun.
