With the infos in Bob's text, if you assume that the other Fantilli vote was a 3rd place, here are the votes per players :

Fantilli : 9 2nd and 1 3rd
Carlsson : 7 3rd, 1 4th and 2 5th
Smith : 1 3rd, 6 4th and 3 5th
Michkov : 1 2nd, 1 3rd, 3 4th and 5 5th
Leonard : 5 6th, 1 9th
Dvorsky : 5 6th, 2 11th

Similar to Tkachuk numbers, but MT a year sooner.

From Bobby Mckenzie:

Winnipeg Ice left winger Zach Benson is only 5-foot-10 and 170 pounds and doesn’t possess blinding speed, but is so smart, creative and competitive that he still checks in at No. 9 on our list. Eight of 10 scouts had him in their Top 10 but the other two had him between 15 and 20.


Between 15 and 20 eh? Interesting.

here’s a pic of the two scouts who have him ranked lower. Good old school hockey guys.

We can view it a different way:

2OA: Fantilli (9), Michkov (1)
3OA: Carlsson (7), Fantilli (1), Smith (1), Michkov (1)
4OA: Smith (6), Michkov (3), Carlsson (1)
5OA: Michkov (5), Smith (3), Carlsson (2)
6OA: Leonard (5), Dvorsky (5)
7OA: Reinbacher (multiple)

Not a single scout put a top-5 in the 6-10 bracket
Not a single scout put a 6-10 in the top-5.
It’s as clear as it gets that there’s two very we’ll defined tiers with no overlap.

The 6th spot was tight!

Also interesting that 1/2 have Michkov in the top 4.

Very weird that they ranked Michkov behind Smith then, as he has a lower voting score than Smith, and a 2nd place, which should give him defacto 4th spot.

Why is Ryan Leonard being compared to Mike Richards? Richards had a nice career despite being a brutal skater but in a different era. Leonard's one of the best skaters in the top 10 of this draft.

Undersized guy who had a lotta heart and grit and was a playoff player with a lotta character.

Leonard would be very successful to have the on-ice reputation Richards enjoyed.

Highest pick for Reinbacher was 7OA. Multiple scouts picked him there.

Biggest surprise of the day imo

Its just a poor application of statistics and or poor reasoning to think a 181 cm player is in a better spot than a 178 cm one.

Again I don't really care to go into the weeds about this much because I like Benson a lot and don't think his height is really a problem, nor do I view Leonard as some hulking Lucic-style power forward, but you are doing the same thing again. You keep rounding Benson up and rounding Leonard down, and then using that difference to argue it's a tiny difference after arbitrarily rounding Benson to be a little taller and rounding Leonard to be a little shorter than reality.

5'9.75 and 5'11.75 corresponds to 177cm (177.165) and 182cm (182.245) for a slightly over 5cm difference, which taking the 184cm mean and 5.5cm standard deviation you provided (idk if the actual std. dev. is 5.5cm) puts Leonard at -0.364 and Benson at -1.273 standard deviations, nearly a difference of 1 standard deviation between the two. That's not gigantic but it is enough that it matters. It's approximately the same difference as Harvey-Pinard vs. Suzuki and that's without talking about weight/build either (yes, I understand that Benson will bulk up with NHL training/nutritionists too, but he's not going to end up thicker than Leonard).

It's fine to prefer Benson at 5 but it's disingenuous to keep rounding Benson up by a quarter inch and rounding Leonard down by three quarters of an inch and then say "look, they're only an inch apart who cares!"

I’m not at all keen on taking wingers with our first pick in back to back drafts.

Well one was a LW and the other is a RW. It’s also ignoring the fact they traded for a good young centre in the last draft and might even trade for another good young centre in this one.

We should not have an issue with drafting wingers when the top ones in the system before last draft were Farrell and Roy. Nothing special.
