Edmonton Oiler Prospects Top 25 Under 25 Rankings

By Derek Zona

Our top 25 under 25 is done for a second time.  When we last did this in February, we only agreed on one thing - Sam Gagner, the number one ranked player.  This time, we only agreed on one thing - Taylor Hall, the number one ranked player.  Though the Oilers have been selling hope for what seems like two decades now, there is now a reason for hope.  There is real talent in the under 25 group in this organization and with new people in charge of development and a real commitment to the AHL, there's a chance that we won't be writing articles about wasted talent and wasted opportunity for the next five years.

Below is a chart showing the each writer's individual ratings for the top 25.  The columns in the chart are sortable, simply click the header row.
