The Ducks have not been terribly aggressive in free agency or the trade market of late, but that may be a result of their burgeoning depth at the lower levels of the organization. Anaheim has stashed talent in many corners of the hockey world, building a system replete with skill and speed.

1. (1) Kyle Palmieri, RW, 8C
Drafted 1st round, 26th overall, 2009

Palmieri continued to even out his consistency and refine his skills this season. He had two stints with the big club, including a productive late-season stretch that likely assured him a full 82 games on the roster next season. Praised by teammates and coaches for his complete game and explosive scoring ability, Palmieri looks to head the coming generation of Ducks offensive stars. Teemu Selanne, whom he may replace in the Ducks' lineup ultimately, has said that there is no discernible weakness in Palmieri's game.

The New York Islanders have been frequent holders of high draft picks in recent NHL Drafts. But, while the effects on the team's in-season performance resulting from the lofty drafting positions have so far been negligible, there does appear to be some hope on the horizon for the Islanders.

One bright spot is the top player in this next-to-last grouping in HF's ranking of the Top 50 NHL prospects, Ryan Strome. Another prospect that is thought to have a bright future but has struggled under those expectations is the last player in this group, Nino Niederreiter.
