We all respect the list and the time put into it, I certainly enjoyed reading it.
But just the concept of a top-300 a full year out from the draft is humorous and invites others to poke fun - considering reports say most NHL teams go into the draft with a list of like 150 guys
Guess I’m a nerd.
When we watch these players at age 16 and age 17, they mostly play in the same leagues. The CHL, USHL, Finnish U20, Swedish U20, MHL, and others all feature draft year and draft -1 players.
When I watch Nate Danielson play for Brandon this year, I’m also going to see Charlie Elick (2024) and Roger McQueen (2025) and maybe others not on my radar. My Danielson opinion doesn’t form any faster than my Elick opinion.
I watch every Rangers game and about twice as much junior hockey every year. It’s just what goes on in the house on quiet nights. I like making lists so I add players and assign them a score when I watch games. I then follow the production with the skill set I observed and make minor adjustments.
I am not selling anything, I just do it for fun. I’d never pretend to be a pro scout. I think it’s helpful to share loose observations here, give people a list to sift through, and share for conversation.
Isn’t that the point of the prospects section of this site? To sift through lists of threads and comments that inspire you to watch more hockey? I love seeing a name get some traction here so I can seek out a game.
Right now I’ve written down preliminary marks for ~35 2024 names and have ~100 more on my list to try catch in the first few months of the season.
