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 the following two requirements:
- A player is considered a prospect if: he has played less than 25 NHL games in one campaign.
- Less than 50 NHL games total in their career.
Next team up is the Pittsburgh Penguins. Let's take a look at the ten best prospects in their system, starting with number ten and counting down to number one.
