[TLEH]

Right there with them on Schaefer and Misa. My two favorite guys this year. Don't need a LD in Chicago in the slightest but if we do end up winning the lottery again, I have a hard time passing on him this year. Feel like he's been the best player.

 

[Frk It]

I like seeing Carbonneau this high, have been keeping tabs on him for awhile.

Two questions for @Mark Edwards and @JeromeHP --

1) Since you guys were high on Lindstrom last year, why are you not similarly as high on McQueen?

2) What do you think of Carbonneau's teammate, Mateo Nobert?

Jackson Smith is a little lower than I've seen on other lists, curious what your take on him is.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Very hot-take-y as usual. At this point I expect it from them.

 

[Briser la glace]

Great list! So glad to see Bear, Cootes and Brzustewicz that high.

my hot take is that it's not hot-take-y

Having the consensus 1 at 3? Having a consensus top 4 at 5? Having a guy at 6 that hasn’t even been making top 15’s yet?

Of course it is.

Of course it is.

What if they....believe in their rankings?

Good for them. Time will tell if they’re right, but they are hot take artists.

Of course it is.

Yeah, but it's not like they're the first ones to have Hagens 2nd or 3rd. Most of recent rankings I've seen have Schaefer and/or Misa ahead of Hagens, at least in Québec

This is overly-reductive and insulting to them, honestly. These are people who show their work, they aren't twitter rankings.

If you don't agree with their list, I mean that's cool, but adding imagined motivations to it is weird.

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

Also they adjust. I never get the big reactions to fall rankings. There’s no point.

This is like getting mad at the CFP rankings the first week they come out. It doesn’t really matter until the final edition when they seed the tournament as teams will lose and drop. Same here- reacting to an ongoing rough draft that is based on limited info.

Of course it is.

Its a mid term rankings, things are bound to move and some players are risers. first point has a Stutzle above lafreniere vibe, nothing too hot takey when they did it afterall. Top4 at five is like… almost sarcasm: having said that i dont think they want to be influenced by consensus anyways

Pavel is just mad someone doesn't have Hagens ranked first. Anything he doesn't personally agree with is considered a hot take.
