Corey Pronman's preliminary 2023 draft rankings

Looks like he agrees that it's a brutal year for Finnish prospects.
 
Is the mystery person at #9 perhaps a Dman with a wierd last name?

If Smith & ? are in the top 10, I'm guessing Benson & Ritchie are out?

How has Bedard not looked like a runaway slam dunk for the #1 spot? The guy has 43 points in 20 games. This whole "debate" thing is like McDavid vs Eichel.

It’s really not actually. Watching both Michkov and Bedard I’ll say the both have very similar skill sets. The only thing making it a slam dunk is the fact that Michkov won’t come over right away.

Overall, the points are impressive but Bedard is going to have to adjust his game a lot in the NHL. I think he can absolutely do it, but it’ll probably take him some time. Matvei Michkov’s game seems a little more translatable to me. He’s a really smart player with an amazing skill set as well. Frankly, it’s a 1A 1B situation for me. I’d be happy if my team took either 1st overall.

I've heard about the player he has at 9 but I didn't expect him to be listed top 10.

Also it would appear the Cam Allen shine is wearing off.

Cam Allen is not a 1st round pick at this point for me. I think he’s really looked pretty bad on a team that also looks terrible.

They need something to stir up conversation. It happens literally every year with it very rarely being the consensus at the start of the year not going 1st overall.

Not sure why we open threads about a list nobody can see and nobody can really discuss in case we say too much. Looks to me like clickbait material for a media that really doesn't need the extra attention.

Because those of us who are able to afford spending $1 a month like to be able to read about and discuss the rankings? I didnt realize that Pronman had dropped his list so without this thread, I might have missed it.

I like his analysis of the players. But, I do not really like the order of the players. I love the fact he’s really trying to emphasize NHL translation in his player evaluations. But, I think he might be outsmarting himself here.

Calum Ritchie outside the top 15 in favor of Nate Danielson and Daniel But is really perplexing to me. Brayden Yager outside the top 5 is very bold. I understand he’s not outperforming expectations but he’s a top 5 player at least for me. I truly believe that Fantilli over Michkov is going to seem like a really bizarre take in 5 years.

I love the amount of love for the USNTDP (which has been criminally underrated all year so far).

I was completely unfamiliar with David Reinbacher but I’m excited to watch him.

Get ready for Will Scouch tomorrow (I think it's tomorrow). His rankings are going to floor you based on his write-up. Even I was taken aback by the boldness.

Lol, yeah thankfully I wasnt invested in FTX, and with what little I have left I can still skip upgrading my mickey D's fries to the large size so that I can afford my The Athletic subscription each month, rather than complain that its behind a paywall.
