Here’s my first round from my recent rankings. I have come around on Krebs recently in recent viewings. I still don’t see the top end skill, but he seems to be more of a surefire too six forward than I thought previously. Dorofeyev is going to end up ala Kravtsov and is just playing very well right now. Debated a giant jump for Nick Robertson, but for now he stays in the 20’s. If he can continue his run of form for the next while, he’s going in my lottery selections. He’s driving the offense of the Petes. I have a full 275 so if anyone has any questions, don’t hesitate.
