Last week, we handed out our Sens prospect awards, recognizing the players who had the best of the best seasons. In our second installation of recapping the season for Sens prospects, we’ll be taking a closer look at the prospect pipeline as a whole by separating each player into different tiers.
This post is heavily inspired by a series Corey Pronman wrote last season for the Athletic, going as far as using the same tiers and definitions. His definitions are as follows:
Special prospect: Projects to be one of the very best at their position in the league
Elite prospect: Projects to be top 10 percent of the league at their position.
