TSN's Core 4 U-24 ranking is out and the Wings rank #6. That's down from #3 last year, but not bad considering Seider is no longer counted.

https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/article/canadiens-top-tsns-core-4-u-24-team-ranking-for-second-straight-year/

TSN Director of Scouting Craig Button and FloHockey’s NHL Draft & Prospect Analyst Chris Peters assessed every NHL team’s collection of assets 23 or younger (as of regular season’s start Oct. 7) – blending evaluations of current level of play with projected further development to assign 2025-26 grades. Players are labeled AAA (superstar), AA (elite), A (No. 1 goalie, top-pair defenceman, first-line forward) or B (tandem goalie, top-four defenceman, top-six forward) or C (backup goalie, depth defenceman, bottom-six forward). Listed are all players rated B or better, with C players included only to round out Core 4 lists.

The Habs are #1 with Hutson and Demidov both with AAA and Slavkosky and 20-year old goalie Fowler both at A. I was wondering where is goalie Dobes who has gotten a bunch of starts this year but he's already 24. Personally, I'd put Hutson as only an AA, probably Demidov the same. 

Wings at #6 have Raymond as a AA and Augustine, Edvinsson and ASP all as As. Then, although not counting in the Core 4 U-24, listed are all the Wings they assign a B to: Kasper, Finnie, Plante, Bear, MBN, Genborn and Cossa. Should Edvinsson be an AA? And wait, where's Danielson?!

The teams between the Habs and Wings are Chicago (led by Bedard and Nazar), San Jose (led by Celebrini and Will Smith), Anaheim (Leo Carlsson and Gauthier) and Utah (Cooley and Guenther).

Ottawa is #8, Leafs #23, Bruins #25, Canucks #26, Oilers #27, Tampa #30, Florida #31 and Vegas #32.

interesting they see danielson as a bottom 6 guy.  but he's always been questioned by scouts as to his ultimate upside.

Not a big Craig Button fan myself honestly.

I hope Eddie can make the NHL just because he seems like he'd be fun to watch at the very least
