Habs drop from #13 to #16 in HF's 2010 Spring Organizational Rankings


Danny Kristo has moved quickly up the Canadiens prospects latter with a solid NCAA freshman year at North Dakota and a good performance at the 2010 WJC.
From Hockey's Future:


Strengths: Headlining the Canadiens large group of talented forwards is Ivy League Rookie of the Year Louis Leblanc and WCHA Rookie of the Year Danny Kristo. The organization also has two potential top-four defensemen in P.K. Subban and Yannick Weber. Many of their top prospects have already tasted the NHL and are ready to jump to the next level. Weaknesses: Players such as Ben Maxwell and Aaron Palushaj are slow to develop and may not develop into NHL-caliber players. There is also a general lack of size in the system. All of the goaltending prospects have limited upside. Top 5 Prospects: 1. P.K. Subban, D, 2. Danny Kristo, RW, 3. Louis Leblanc, C, 4. Yannick Weber, D, 5. Aaron Palushaj, RW. Lost to graduation: Benoit Pouliot and Max Pacioretty.
