[EXTRAS]

Eastern Canadian Bias. Beckman thrashed the WHL scoring race doesn't make top 75...but like the top 15 scorers from the OHL make the list

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Outrageous.

 

[Fisticuffer]

Tampa with a zero but you just know they’ll pull an ace out their sleeve.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

No Batherson?

 

[Smif]

Hard to complain as a Leaf fan.

 

[majormajor]

No Batherson?

Look at the criteria.

 

[majormajor]

Thanks for doing this Amnesiac. Pretty good list.

 

[bukwas]

This will be good to look back on. Not for the "i told you so" appeal but as a reminder of how difficult post draft development is to predict. I hope we do this again in the future but either way, thanks for committing your time and energy amnesiac.

 

[FinlandPanther]

There’s a lot of players under Pod that I see having more upside.

 

[Techcoockie]

Romanov is top 10 boys

 

[themelkman]

Hard to complain as a Leaf fan.

You arent going to find a voted list lacking leafs guys. Im shocked there isnt more!

 

[EveryDay]

Romanov is top 10 boys

Yeah there is not 11 defenceman prospect better then Romanov right now, that's funny!!!!

He's top3.

1-Seider
2-Byram
3-Romanov

 

[2Pair]

Pretty much every prospect of a Canadian team is overrated.

 

[newfy]

He's top3.

1-Seider
2-Byram
3-Romanov

Lol ya that was one I didnt notice at first glance. seems like a glaring issue with the list to me as well. I would have the same top 3 as you

 

[Critical13]

Great list! Thanks for doing it OP.

this was done between Oct and Jan, obviously many players would have changed spots after the WJC and in ROmanov's case, his first NHL game.

thank you! (cannot "like" posts for a while)

 

[JohnLennon]

Pretty much every prospect of a Canadian team is overrated.

As a Habs fan I agree, Canadian/popular team bias here except for probably Romanov, who seems pretty low IMO. Liljegren, Robertson, Pinto seem high to me.

Underrated prospects, I think: John Leonard and Scott Perunovich. I'd have them on this list over many guys.

 

[Macky]

Where Norlinder ???? (Jokes)

 

[KapG]

Imagine Cole caufield being that far ahead of guys like Tippett and Boldy lmao

thanks for taking the time to put this together!

 

[newfy]

this was done between Oct and Jan, obviously many players would have changed spots after the WJC and in ROmanov's case, his first NHL game.

I wouldve had that same top 3 before that as well though so I dont see your point. Byram and Seider wouldve been splitting hairs but Romanov should be right there still.

 

[Mitch nylander]

Too high: Cole Caufield, Marco Rossi, Timothy Liljegren, Shane Pinto, Connor Zary

Too low: Liam Foudy, Jakob Pelletier, Matthew Boldy, Adam Beckman,

Otherwise a fantastic list. Thank you @amnesiac

 

[Mitch nylander]

He's top3.

1-Seider
2-Byram
3-Romanov

I would take Seider, Byram, Drysdale over him.

Then put him in a similar grouping with Sandin, Smith, Dobson, Sanderson and Bouchard.

He's 4-8 imo.

 

[snipes]

That was a lot of effort to do and organize that vote.

The voting began in October as you noted and a lot changes with prospects at this age. Majority of it done pre-WJC.

Looking forward to next offseasons version of this, it was a fun way to pass the time while there was no hockey.
