As some may notice, I have removed Martin Frk and Nick Ebert from the top 15. Ebert has not been consistent enough in his play and has not grown in his development of decision making with the puck for my liking. Frk, while still a good talent on a powerhouse team has not even been able to get back to that point per game offensive player that was thought he could be at a minimum. Also while I have shown their point totals and plus/minus it does not give a accurate read of a player alone. For example a defencemen is much more then their scoring totals, but their plus/minus is then even more important to see, even on a bad team.

For those of you who been following my prospects ranking from October/11, you will notice some small changes again. Unfortunately as I mentioned before with so many injuries in the 2012 Prospect Draft class it has been much more difficult to read each players development in comparison to each other. This list is not a mock ranking as to where they will be selected but my personal ranking in terms of talent that is available at that ranking.

Honourable mention that did not rank in the top 15 in my ranking is....
