Ducks prospect rankings released.
HockeysFuture.com has released its Fall rankings of the Ducks' top 20 prospects, starting with new defenseman Luca Sbisa straight on down to Petteri Wirtanen (at the bottom of the
"Other Notables" list). There's one factual error; Petri Kontiola (ranked #8) has signed with a KHL team for next season. The rest of the top 10, in order: Sbisa, Jake Gardiner, Peter Holland, Mark Mitera, Kyle Palmieri, Brendan Mikkelson, Matt Beleskey, Kontiola, Matt Clark, Matthias Modig.
Nick Bonino (#14) and Brett Festerling (#17) seem underrated, and Maxime Macenauer probably deserved a shot at the top 20, and I can't argue with the guys I haven't seen yet. Perhaps you can...

J.P. Hoornstra has been covering the Anaheim Ducks since 2007. Eight months after the University of Wisconsin won its third NCAA hockey championship, he was born in a frigid Madison winter. He betrayed his blue-blooded beginnings by graduating from UCLA in 2003, and welcomes any and all dialogue on the finer points of hockey.
