Multiple different sources use different criteria for their rankings as to what players classify as a prospect. For my lists over the next couple of weeks, I will be using Corey Pronman's guide from 2019, as that's the most updated I could find. For Pronman's guide, he uses the following two requirements:
- A player is considered a prospect if: he has played less than 25 games in one campaign.
- Less than 50 games total in their career.
Next team up is the Carolina Hurricanes. Let's take a look at the ten best prospects in their system, starting with number ten and counting down to number one.
