I realized posting new rankings nearly every month was pointless. I’ve pretty much seen all I’ve needed to see and this list took a while to complete. I may add scouting reports for the top 62 and/or a mock draft later on and I’ll bump the thread if I do. Any questions/thoughts/feedback feel...
Kakko has surpassed Hughes for me for the 2nd time this year. My list for this year seems to be settling, earlier this year I wasn’t confident of my 1st round and was always shuffling around players but lately it’s pretty compact. I don’t see much changing soon unless I’m blown away by a...
Was initially going to wait until after WJC to post my next list but I feel there’s been so much movement for me that I should update it
Here’s my last list
*Goalies are not ranked
Some recent notes
1. If Dach had more hustle/effort he’d really push Kakko for my 2 spot. The top 3 are all very...

Been working on this a while and I think this is the first list I’ve posted that I’m 100% sure about atm
This draft is stacked and aside from Dahlin, I like this draft’s 1st round better than 2018’s. Not a fan of the depth in the 2019 class though, 2018’s 2nd-4th round was very good and I even...
Here’s a quick top 40. Everyone I listed I’ve seen multiple games of. There are some guys I like (Dorofeyev and some others) but I haven’t seen enough of them to properly rank them. This list is about the guys I’ve legit watched, so if I’m missing anyone that should be on this list, feel free to...
Since everyone’s posting theirs and I don’t exactly agree with it+boredom, here’s mine.

2. Andrei Svechnikov
3. Elias Pettersson

5. Quintin Hughes
6. Casey Mittelstadt

8. Martin Necas
9. Oliver Wahlstrom
10. Noah Dobson
11. Kirill Kaprizov

Let me start off by saying I don’t think this is a good draft like a lot of people seem to think. I think it’s about average but I’m not a huge fan so far. The 2018 draft was stacked and I can’t see how some like this draft better. Another thing, it’s hard to find video on some euro guys so far...
