10. Josh Dickinson, C [20 years old]

Stats (Clarkson University, NCAA): 40 games played, 15 goals, 11 assists, 26 points, 6 power-play goals, 1 game-winning goal, .65 points per game.

Josh Dickinson comes in the last place here because he had one of the worst seasons statistically on this list, but he did well as a Freshman in the NCAA and then did well in the AHL. He earned his contract with the Colorado Avalanche and will get a full chance at the AHL soon with the Eagles. If he can do better given more games and a bigger platform, then he’ll be an excellent prospect moving forward.

If he can do better given more games and a bigger platform, then he’ll be an excellent prospect moving forward.

Still, his season is anything but awe-inspiring and he needs to play better in the future. His ceiling is hard to tell for the reason that he was a 19-year-old Freshman last season. He went undrafted three times and was eventually signed to a contract by the Colorado Avalanche perhaps because they need more players at the AHL level.

Dickinson has another chance to prove himself this season. Take advantage of it, prove what he can do at the professional level, and his prospects of someday playing for the Colorado Avalanche are looking up.
