Hockey's Future Organization Rankings, Fall 2011 1-10
I don't think prospect rankings are that precise but the Leafs falling in the top third strikes me as about right.
Reimer and Gardiner will very likely 'graduate' from consideration by HF next season, so the Leafs may be hard pressed to stay up in those rankings when that happens.
The key comment I've seen and one many would acknowledge is that (maybe beyond Reimer/Gardiner), their pipeline is light in true/safe blue chippers - guys that have a good shot to be elite.
Regardless, the ranking is a credit to Burke.
