Adjusted Rankings - March 2014

Based on deadline acquisitions and recent player developments, it's time to do a quick refresh of the prospect rankings. Rationale to come at a later date, but best to get it posted while attention shifts to the 2014 draft. A much deeper dive should be expected after the draft and development camp.

No change at the top. New names Carrier, Fasching, and Deslauriers get their initial slotting (NOTE: new additions will always be ranked conservatively). Girgensons is set to graduate at the end of the season, while 23/24-year old players like Ruhwedel, Hackett, Schaller, Crawford, Knapp, and Szydlowski will also fall off at the close of the season. For now, they stay.
