Updated List just before December arrives.


Couple notes:

Will Smith has put himself in tp-10 consideration with his phenomenal start to the season.

We're starting to see defenders separate themselves from the rest near the top of the draft, Reinbacher is my favorite of them at the moment.

Andrew Cristall is a top-10 talent, and so is Jayden Perron. But size may hinder them on draft day - they're both extremely skilled players however and boast some real high upside.

Calum Ritchie has been dropping - Colby Barlow is narrowly the top player out of the OHL so far, some team is going to like his combination of intangibles, grittiness and offensive game. Richie has been disappointing to start the season. Here is hoping he turns it around.

Weak year for QMJHL - still only Ethan Gauthier I envision having first-round ambitions. Morin is putting together a strong offensive season and may sneak his way into the late first but other than that -it is looking real bleak.

Cameron Allen continues to fall after a horrid start to the year - Guelph was supposed to be a real good team and Allen was supposed to take a step forward, but neither has happened so far.

I usually don't include goalies in lists like these but I decided to take a crack at it. I have seen 5 goalies that I really like this year so far. Clara. Hrabal, Bjarnason, Ratzlaff, and Zavragin - I don't think it is a weak year for goaltending talent.

Feel free to insult me - I'll be willing to answer any questions.

[GermanSpitfire]

I don't know about the list but Augustine and Perreault will be much higher

Perhaps - this list is nearly a month old so it's already outdated - I won't be doing another until February however.

 

[95snipes]

Still fairly fluid, but this is where I'm at post WJC. The '--' denotes what I would consider to be the tiers. Only a top 27 for right now.

1. Bedard
2. Michkov
--
3. Sale
4. Carlsson
5. Fantilli
6. Yager
7. Dvorsky
--
8. Benson
9. Barlow
10. Smith
11. Leonard
12. Gauthier
13. Dragicevic
14. Heidt
15. Cristall
16. Sandin-Pellikka
--
17. Ritchie
18. Danielson
19. Musty
20. Stramel
21. Wood
22. Moore
23. Allen
24. Price
25. Stenburg
26. Strbak
27. Perreault

Not enough viewings for me to confidently rank:
David Reinbacher
Mikhail Gulyayev
Daniil But
Bradley Nadeau

Other notable guys (in no order) who I'd have varying degrees of interest in as late first rounders or would be targets in later rounds

Gavin Brindley
William Whitelaw
Tanner Adams
Ryan Fine
Andrew Strathmann
Carey Terrance
Scott Ratzlaff
Oliver Bonk
Ethan Miedema
Koehn Ziemmer
Kasper Halttunen
Jesse Kiiskinen
Emil Jarventie
Matteo Koci
Dominik Petr

[GermanSpitfire]

Here are my updated rankings.

The first thing that may stick out to many is where I have Reinbacher ranked. If you have been on the prospect section of this site at all this year you know how bullish I am on Reinbacher and his game. It is a weak year for defenders and I believe Reinbacher will be the first one selected. He is the type of player that GM's appreciate more than fans. Here is what I wrote about it on the Senators board:

He is a 6’2’ late 2004 born Austrian that isn’t afraid of being physical. He has been playing against men since the age of 16 in Switzerland.
This year he is playing in Switzerland’s highest mens leage the NL where he is producing at just under .5PPG against men. For comparisons sake, Roman Josi had 8 points in the NL in his draft season; Reinbacher has 15 so far.

The thing with Reinbacher is offence isn’t the best part of his game - that I would say is his physicality and how well he defends against the rush. He is not afraid at all to lay the body - he will get this twinkle in his eye and zero in on someone and just lay them out. Reminds me of a young Kronwall in this regard of his game. He has a very good stick in the defensive zone and maintains his gaps real well. He is a very stout player in the defensive end.

A few things that he will need to work on is how he moves laterally - he is a great skater, but only really North-South. I don’t find he uses his edges often to cut into the middle of the ice, he more just attacks it if he does - and he doesn’t have that flawless, effortless stride when walking the blue line, he more just shimmy’s around if that makes sense. He also needs to work on his puck skills - he bobbles the puck on a regular basis and doesn’t always recieve passes very crisp. both these things are things he could work on going forward.

I compare him to Moritz Seider as a draft eligible player - raw player with a interesting profile and skillset with a good deal of room for improvement. I believe he will be in the NHL in 1-2 years.

Another thing I would like to note is that although I always say I am not a good goalie evaluator, and I stand by this statement - I believe it is a VERY strong year for goaltending talent. From my count, there are 4-5 goalies in this draft that I could see as late first-round goalies in previous years where goaltending was rather weak. There is also a different type of goalie for every GM. You have the big guys that fill the net and rely a bit more on positioning in Damian Clara and Michael Hrabal, the "Smaller" more athletic goalies in Scott Ratzlaff and Trey Augustine or the best of both worlds in Carson Bjarnson and Adam Gajan.

Some may question my ranking of Sandin Pellinka - I think I have too much trouble trying to see how he projects into the NHL in order to rank him higher I don't see the upside here to pick him higher than the late first. He is small and struggles with puck retrievals at times. As he moves to a smaller ice surface these weaknesses will continue to be more profound. We have seen it before with Arizona prospect Victor Soderstrom, who I think Sandin Pelikka reminds me quite a bit of.

A couple of risers on my list have been two players from Sudbury - Quentin Musty and Matthew Mania. These guys struggled early in the season to produce offensively but since a coaching change, they have been MUCH better. Musty still has issues regarding his level of engagement and decision-making and is overall a risky selection but you can't ignore the production since Derek MacKenzie came in, if he can fix up a few things to his game - he can be a first-line winger in the NHL. As for Mania, he is an offensive threat that is a fantastic skater and has good size at 6'0" - if he can improve his defensive game I think he could be a very good defender in the NHL.

I will be releasing my Final draft rankings just after the Memorial Cup - and I will have write-ups for every player I project to have in my first two rounds. As always I will try my best to answer any questions thrown my way.

Appreciate yoour work. I agree with what you wrote and think that it's a very good list. Personally, I think that Laakso is gonna go earlier because really good overagers with extensive pro experience tend to go somewhere around the 2nd round the latest but we'll see.

 

[landy92mack29]

Here are my updated rankings.

The first thing that may stick out to many is where I have Reinbacher ranked. If you have been on the prospect section of this site at all this year you know how bullish I am on Reinbacher and his game. It is a weak year for defenders and I believe Reinbacher will be the first one selected. He is the type of player that GM's appreciate more than fans. Here is what I wrote about it on the Senators board:


Another thing I would like to note is that although I always say I am not a good goalie evaluator, and I stand by this statement - I believe it is a VERY strong year for goaltending talent. From my count, there are 4-5 goalies in this draft that I could see as late first-round goalies in previous years where goaltending was rather weak. There is also a different type of goalie for every GM. You have the big guys that fill the net and rely a bit more on positioning in Damian Clara and Michael Hrabal, the "Smaller" more athletic goalies in Scott Ratzlaff and Trey Augustine or the best of both worlds in Carson Bjarnson and Adam Gajan.

Some may question my ranking of Sandin Pellinka - I think I have too much trouble trying to see how he projects into the NHL in order to rank him higher I don't see the upside here to pick him higher than the late first. He is small and struggles with puck retrievals at times. As he moves to a smaller ice surface these weaknesses will continue to be more profound. We have seen it before with Arizona prospect Victor Soderstrom, who I think Sandin Pelikka reminds me quite a bit of.

A couple of risers on my list have been two players from Sudbury - Quentin Musty and Matthew Mania. These guys struggled early in the season to produce offensively but since a coaching change, they have been MUCH better. Musty still has issues regarding his level of engagement and decision-making and is overall a risky selection but you can't ignore the production since Derek MacKenzie came in, if he can fix up a few things to his game - he can be a first-line winger in the NHL. As for Mania, he is an offensive threat that is a fantastic skater and has good size at 6'0" - if he can improve his defensive game I think he could be a very good defender in the NHL.

I will be releasing my Final draft rankings just after the Memorial Cup - and I will have write-ups for every player I project to have in my first two rounds. As always I will try my best to answer any questions thrown my way.

Definitely like and respect this list a lot more than any of the scouting services ones I've seen. Obviously won't agree with everything but curious why so high on Parker? Especially over lower guys I like in Molendyk+Cagnoni. Then how close are Levis, Weinstein, Hammell, Lipinski to making your list?

Here are my updated rankings.

The first thing that may stick out to many is where I have Reinbacher ranked. If you have been on the prospect section of this site at all this year you know how bullish I am on Reinbacher and his game. It is a weak year for defenders and I believe Reinbacher will be the first one selected. He is the type of player that GM's appreciate more than fans. Here is what I wrote about it on the Senators board:


Another thing I would like to note is that although I always say I am not a good goalie evaluator, and I stand by this statement - I believe it is a VERY strong year for goaltending talent. From my count, there are 4-5 goalies in this draft that I could see as late first-round goalies in previous years where goaltending was rather weak. There is also a different type of goalie for every GM. You have the big guys that fill the net and rely a bit more on positioning in Damian Clara and Michael Hrabal, the "Smaller" more athletic goalies in Scott Ratzlaff and Trey Augustine or the best of both worlds in Carson Bjarnson and Adam Gajan.

Some may question my ranking of Sandin Pellinka - I think I have too much trouble trying to see how he projects into the NHL in order to rank him higher I don't see the upside here to pick him higher than the late first. He is small and struggles with puck retrievals at times. As he moves to a smaller ice surface these weaknesses will continue to be more profound. We have seen it before with Arizona prospect Victor Soderstrom, who I think Sandin Pelikka reminds me quite a bit of.

A couple of risers on my list have been two players from Sudbury - Quentin Musty and Matthew Mania. These guys struggled early in the season to produce offensively but since a coaching change, they have been MUCH better. Musty still has issues regarding his level of engagement and decision-making and is overall a risky selection but you can't ignore the production since Derek MacKenzie came in, if he can fix up a few things to his game - he can be a first-line winger in the NHL. As for Mania, he is an offensive threat that is a fantastic skater and has good size at 6'0" - if he can improve his defensive game I think he could be a very good defender in the NHL.

I will be releasing my Final draft rankings just after the Memorial Cup - and I will have write-ups for every player I project to have in my first two rounds. As always I will try my best to answer any questions thrown my way.

Excellent thought and work put into this. I really like Pharand at his draft position. I think he is a sleeper.

Definitely like and respect this list a lot more than any of the scouting services ones I've seen. Obviously won't agree with everything but curious why so high on Parker? Especially over lower guys I like in Molendyk+Cagnoni. Then how close are Levis, Weinstein, Hammell, Lipinski to making your list?

I’m so glad someone asked me about Parker. If you don’t know I have a type of defenceman in which I absolutely love. That is defenders with size that can skate. I am a big believer that these are two of the most important qualities of a defender in the NHL. You don’t need an offensive game to be a successful defender and defence if the defender doesn’t have it already is teachable. Skating and size are very good foundations to build on for a defender.
Kalem Parker has those qualities, he is 6’0” as you already know and has a sort of fluid and effortless stride. He isn’t afraid to throw the body and I find he makes really good decisions with the puck. He isn’t very flashy but he is effective.

As for Molendyk/Cagnoni.
Molendyk is a guy who is supposed to be an offence first guy - I think at some point the production becomes a concern. I defenitly have a size preference so for most defenders having their height start with a 5 is something I take into account heavily. Now last season I had Lane Hutson at 9 - and he is the exception for me. He was small but he controlled the game like few defenders I have ever seen had. If you’re on the small side in my opinion - you have to control the pace of the game when you step onto the ice. Molendyk and Cagnoni have their flashes, esccpesially Cagnoni but it doesn’t happen enough to outweigh the physical disadvantages they have.

Weinstein is a guy that is right there for reasons I mentioned earlier - he is just a little more raw and there hasn’t been as much improvement in his offensive numbers I expected after the Sward trade. I still project him to be selected and is defenitly one of my favourite “best of the rest“

Connor Levis is a kid I concitered but ultimately I liked The upside of the kids I ranked more. He’s close, and if I did another round of rankings he would be in it. He plays a pro style game but there hasn’t been a leap in offensive production this year like I would have expected out of him. Still a kid I wouldn’t bet on to NOT have an NHL career in some capacity.


Lipinski and Hammel are guys I haven‘t gotten enough viewings to say anything definitive on them - but if you recommended giving them a watch, I’ll be sure to catch a game or two.

Here are my updated rankings.

The first thing that may stick out to many is where I have Reinbacher ranked. If you have been on the prospect section of this site at all this year you know how bullish I am on Reinbacher and his game. It is a weak year for defenders and I believe Reinbacher will be the first one selected. He is the type of player that GM's appreciate more than fans. Here is what I wrote about it on the Senators board:


Another thing I would like to note is that although I always say I am not a good goalie evaluator, and I stand by this statement - I believe it is a VERY strong year for goaltending talent. From my count, there are 4-5 goalies in this draft that I could see as late first-round goalies in previous years where goaltending was rather weak. There is also a different type of goalie for every GM. You have the big guys that fill the net and rely a bit more on positioning in Damian Clara and Michael Hrabal, the "Smaller" more athletic goalies in Scott Ratzlaff and Trey Augustine or the best of both worlds in Carson Bjarnson and Adam Gajan.

Some may question my ranking of Sandin Pellinka - I think I have too much trouble trying to see how he projects into the NHL in order to rank him higher I don't see the upside here to pick him higher than the late first. He is small and struggles with puck retrievals at times. As he moves to a smaller ice surface these weaknesses will continue to be more profound. We have seen it before with Arizona prospect Victor Soderstrom, who I think Sandin Pelikka reminds me quite a bit of.

A couple of risers on my list have been two players from Sudbury - Quentin Musty and Matthew Mania. These guys struggled early in the season to produce offensively but since a coaching change, they have been MUCH better. Musty still has issues regarding his level of engagement and decision-making and is overall a risky selection but you can't ignore the production since Derek MacKenzie came in, if he can fix up a few things to his game - he can be a first-line winger in the NHL. As for Mania, he is an offensive threat that is a fantastic skater and has good size at 6'0" - if he can improve his defensive game I think he could be a very good defender in the NHL.

I will be releasing my Final draft rankings just after the Memorial Cup - and I will have write-ups for every player I project to have in my first two rounds. As always I will try my best to answer any questions thrown my way.

Amazing read. Curious to know of some names that were late cuts who just may make your final list with some improvements.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Amazing read. Curious to know of some names that were late cuts who just may make your final list with some improvements.

The big ones that I wanted to include were Andrew Gibson, Yegor Klimovich, Saige Weinstein and Danny Nelson.

Others I wanted to throw in there were Ondrej Molnar, Matthew Soto, Owen Outwater, Tyler Peddle, Jesse Kiiskanen, Nikita Susuyev and Jayson Shaugabay.

Andrew Gibson has slowly been rising for me as the year has gone one. You want to talk about a raw player, Gibson is just that. He has improved so much since the beginning of the year and I imagine he’ll only continue to improve until the end of the season. Great size, good skater strong at both ends of the rink. Isn’t afraid of being physical and has a good stick. You know, the more I think about it, the more I’m convincing myself Gibson should have been on this list haha.

Yegor Klimovich is a guy I have only gotten second hand viewings of. Small in stature but a fantastic skater. Good vision and knows how to move the puck in the offensive end. More of a facilitator than a shooter. Great production in the MHL that is hard to ignore.

Saige Weinstein is the type of defender I love - Size and skating. Weinstein adds defensive prowess and physicallity to his game also. What’s limiting him is his offence isn’t improved over last season and he has had more of an opportunity to do so after Spokane traded Sward. It‘s not the end all he all but it’s something to keep note of.

Danny Nelson is a kid that I see playing in the NHL in some capacity - good frame, works well with talented players and has a good motor. Upside maybe isn’t very high but there is an NHL player here.


As for a few kids who may make my list with some improvements:

Thw big one here is Ethan Miedema. if you were to just look at his profile, you’d think this guy could be a very good player - great vision, great puck skills, fantastic size at 6’4”. Problem is he doesnMt contribute a consistent effort on the ice. If that one thing would improve he would be a first rounder - but he often times looks disinterested out there.


Emil Pieniniemi is another one I really like - he has a good frame, great defensively but I want to see him progress his skating ability further before ranking him this high.

 

[landy92mack29]

I’m so glad someone asked me about Parker. If you don’t know I have a type of defenceman in which I absolutely love. That is defenders with size that can skate. I am a big believer that these are two of the most important qualities of a defender in the NHL. You don’t need an offensive game to be a successful defender and defence if the defender doesn’t have it already is teachable. Skating and size are very good foundations to build on for a defender.
Kalem Parker has those qualities, he is 6’0” as you already know and has a sort of fluid and effortless stride. He isn’t afraid to throw the body and I find he makes really good decisions with the puck. He isn’t very flashy but he is effective.

As for Molendyk/Cagnoni.
Molendyk is a guy who is supposed to be an offence first guy - I think at some point the production becomes a concern. I defenitly have a size preference so for most defenders having their height start with a 5 is something I take into account heavily. Now last season I had Lane Hutson at 9 - and he is the exception for me. He was small but he controlled the game like few defenders I have ever seen had. If you’re on the small side in my opinion - you have to control the pace of the game when you step onto the ice. Molendyk and Cagnoni have their flashes, esccpesially Cagnoni but it doesn’t happen enough to outweigh the physical disadvantages they have.

Weinstein is a guy that is right there for reasons I mentioned earlier - he is just a little more raw and there hasn’t been as much improvement in his offensive numbers I expected after the Sward trade. I still project him to be selected and is defenitly one of my favourite “best of the rest“

Connor Levis is a kid I concitered but ultimately I liked The upside of the kids I ranked more. He’s close, and if I did another round of rankings he would be in it. He plays a pro style game but there hasn’t been a leap in offensive production this year like I would have expected out of him. Still a kid I wouldn’t bet on to NOT have an NHL career in some capacity.


Lipinski and Hammel are guys I haven‘t gotten enough viewings to say anything definitive on them - but if you recommended giving them a watch, I’ll be sure to catch a game or two.

I like Parker enough to use a later rounder on him but don't see enough to be a likely future nhler....but I've always been lower on him going back to bantam as he got a lot of free points from Yager+Heidt his draft year with Mayo taking the tough minutes. Intriguing combo though and big role on improving Victoria team

Molendyk definitely needs to show some more offense but his defense is actually solid and is such an amazing skater he fits todays nhl. Blades also have a lot of older dmen who get more opportunities, expect him to break out next year. Cagnoni is tough because he's not a elite skater for his size but is so smart and knows how to run a pp. Think he can be a role guy in the nhl and shine on PP.

Even after the Sward trade he's still getting very little to no PP time so doesn't get the free points but he's basically a slightly lesser Nolan Allan. Close to 20 minutes a game which is 3rd for their defense and plays a tough game. Good bet to be a 3rd pairing pker

Levis is tough because he plays a perfect 3rd line game but only question is is his skating going to be enough. Needs to go to a team that fits his style of play. If not could be another Kaut on the Avs situation where they don't know how to use him

Lipinski has kept getting better as the years gone on plus bigger role with Ostapchuk gone. Power game with enough skill to be a effect mid 6 guy, bottom 6er at least kinda like Bastian in Jersey. Hammell is looking good since being traded, lots more ice time. Not quite sure enough skill to be a nhler but worth a dart throw buy a team mid rounds.

 

[KevSkillz4]

1 - Bedard.
2 - Fantilli.
3 - Carlsson.
4 - Michkov.
5 - Smith.
6 - Benson.
7 - Dvorsky.
8 - Yager.
9 - Moore.
10 - Sale (too talented to don't consider him a top 10 player).

That's my top 10.

Between 11-16, I have in no order so far, Barlow, Reinbacher, Heidt, Cristall, Danielson and Wood.

 

[Kearns]

Here are my updated rankings.

The first thing that may stick out to many is where I have Reinbacher ranked. If you have been on the prospect section of this site at all this year you know how bullish I am on Reinbacher and his game. It is a weak year for defenders and I believe Reinbacher will be the first one selected. He is the type of player that GM's appreciate more than fans. Here is what I wrote about it on the Senators board:


Another thing I would like to note is that although I always say I am not a good goalie evaluator, and I stand by this statement - I believe it is a VERY strong year for goaltending talent. From my count, there are 4-5 goalies in this draft that I could see as late first-round goalies in previous years where goaltending was rather weak. There is also a different type of goalie for every GM. You have the big guys that fill the net and rely a bit more on positioning in Damian Clara and Michael Hrabal, the "Smaller" more athletic goalies in Scott Ratzlaff and Trey Augustine or the best of both worlds in Carson Bjarnson and Adam Gajan.

Some may question my ranking of Sandin Pellinka - I think I have too much trouble trying to see how he projects into the NHL in order to rank him higher I don't see the upside here to pick him higher than the late first. He is small and struggles with puck retrievals at times. As he moves to a smaller ice surface these weaknesses will continue to be more profound. We have seen it before with Arizona prospect Victor Soderstrom, who I think Sandin Pelikka reminds me quite a bit of.

A couple of risers on my list have been two players from Sudbury - Quentin Musty and Matthew Mania. These guys struggled early in the season to produce offensively but since a coaching change, they have been MUCH better. Musty still has issues regarding his level of engagement and decision-making and is overall a risky selection but you can't ignore the production since Derek MacKenzie came in, if he can fix up a few things to his game - he can be a first-line winger in the NHL. As for Mania, he is an offensive threat that is a fantastic skater and has good size at 6'0" - if he can improve his defensive game I think he could be a very good defender in the NHL.

I will be releasing my Final draft rankings just after the Memorial Cup - and I will have write-ups for every player I project to have in my first two rounds. As always I will try my best to answer any questions thrown my way.

Great list. Lots of work went in to this. Respect. Curious where you're at with Danny Nelson.

Great list. Lots of work went in to this. Respect. Curious where you're at with Danny Nelson.

Haha - actually mentioned his name earlier as a guy that was one of the final cuts.

Here is what I said
“Danny Nelson is a kid that I see playing in the NHL in some capacity - good frame, works well with talented players and has a good motor. Upside maybe isn’t very high but there is an NHL player here.”
Reminds me of what Zach Hyman is in the NHL.

 

[majormajor]

This is sort of a hypothetical "If I had a list list". I usually don't start watching most prospects until the Spring. I'll put in 100 hours before the draft. So this early, some of these kids I've only seen 5-10 minutes of.

1. Bedard
2. Carlsson
3. Fantilli
4. Michkov
5. Benson

6. Smith
7. Reinbacher
8. Sale
9. Simashev
10. Leonard

11. Honzek
12. Cristall
13. Moore
14. Barlow
15. Yager

 

[pgfan66]

tier 3
6. brayden yager
7. riley heidt

Curious to hear your thoughts on these two. Heidt seems to be a consensus late first at best while Yager is ranked in a similar spot by most scouting services, but I've heard from multiple WHL and NHL scouts that they have Yager closer to where EliteProspects has him (#23) or even outside of the first round. Not saying you're wrong at all, just curious to hear your reasoning, as I haven't seen much of either one.

Now some thoughts re. @GermanSpitfire's posts:

Here are my updated rankings.

The first thing that may stick out to many is where I have Reinbacher ranked. If you have been on the prospect section of this site at all this year you know how bullish I am on Reinbacher and his game. It is a weak year for defenders and I believe Reinbacher will be the first one selected. He is the type of player that GM's appreciate more than fans. Here is what I wrote about it on the Senators board:


Another thing I would like to note is that although I always say I am not a good goalie evaluator, and I stand by this statement - I believe it is a VERY strong year for goaltending talent. From my count, there are 4-5 goalies in this draft that I could see as late first-round goalies in previous years where goaltending was rather weak. There is also a different type of goalie for every GM. You have the big guys that fill the net and rely a bit more on positioning in Damian Clara and Michael Hrabal, the "Smaller" more athletic goalies in Scott Ratzlaff and Trey Augustine or the best of both worlds in Carson Bjarnson and Adam Gajan.

Some may question my ranking of Sandin Pellinka - I think I have too much trouble trying to see how he projects into the NHL in order to rank him higher I don't see the upside here to pick him higher than the late first. He is small and struggles with puck retrievals at times. As he moves to a smaller ice surface these weaknesses will continue to be more profound. We have seen it before with Arizona prospect Victor Soderstrom, who I think Sandin Pelikka reminds me quite a bit of.

A couple of risers on my list have been two players from Sudbury - Quentin Musty and Matthew Mania. These guys struggled early in the season to produce offensively but since a coaching change, they have been MUCH better. Musty still has issues regarding his level of engagement and decision-making and is overall a risky selection but you can't ignore the production since Derek MacKenzie came in, if he can fix up a few things to his game - he can be a first-line winger in the NHL. As for Mania, he is an offensive threat that is a fantastic skater and has good size at 6'0" - if he can improve his defensive game I think he could be a very good defender in the NHL.

I will be releasing my Final draft rankings just after the Memorial Cup - and I will have write-ups for every player I project to have in my first two rounds. As always I will try my best to answer any questions thrown my way.

[/TABLE]

Not much to say about your list in general except I'm really excited to see Tommy De Luca on there. Don't think I've seen him listed by anyone else since preseason, so it's great he's getting some recognition. He's been excellent on an awful team with mostly weak linemates.

If you don’t know I have a type of defenceman in which I absolutely love. That is defenders with size that can skate. I am a big believer that these are two of the most important qualities of a defender in the NHL. You don’t need an offensive game to be a successful defender and defence if the defender doesn’t have it already is teachable. Skating and size are very good foundations to build on for a defender.

Every talent evaluator, whether you're a professional scout or hobby scout, has their own philosophy and skills they value, and I'm sure many in the business will agree with you that size+skating is the most important combination for defensemen. That's why Central Scouting has guys like Kostadinski and Hurtig ranked fairly high. But I very strongly disagree with that approach.

With all other skills being equal, size is always an advantage. But drafting for size has led to awful hockey players being high draft picks. You can't teach size, but you also can't teach hockey sense or skill to the extent that would be needed for many of these players.

Saige Weinstein is the type of defender I love - Size and skating. Weinstein adds defensive prowess and physicallity to his game also. What’s limiting him is his offence isn’t improved over last season and he has had more of an opportunity to do so after Spokane traded Sward. It‘s not the end all he all but it’s something to keep note of.

I was a big Weinstein fan going into the year but man he's having a rough season. I wouldn't draft him at this point if I were with an NHL team. He seems to have all the necessary tools to be an impact defenseman but somehow can't put them together. There's zero offense in his game and he struggles both defensively and on retrievals/breakouts too. Just a mess all around.

[GermanSpitfire]

Curious to hear your thoughts on these two. Heidt seems to be a consensus late first at best while Yager is ranked in a similar spot by most scouting services, but I've heard from multiple WHL and NHL scouts that they have Yager closer to where EliteProspects has him (#23) or even outside of the first round. Not saying you're wrong at all, just curious to hear your reasoning, as I haven't seen much of either one.

Now some thoughts re. @GermanSpitfire's posts:

Agree with De Luca - i’d like to see more consistency in his game but he provides some nice upside If he his play as of late is any indication of things to come.

I like defenders like Weinstein so I am obviously more bullish on him. I think he can pull things together, and in my opinion he doesn’t need a good offensive game in order to be a good pro - his upside is more limited than I thought coming into the year but I think he can carve out a role as a bottom pairing defender if he reaches the NHL. He has the skating, physicality and and size - just needs to develop a better defendsive game which I think is doable, even if the IQ is suspect.

 

[QJL]

If these are pure rankings based on talent and projection, I just can’t understand anyone having Carlsson and Fantilli above Michkov. The gap is massive between 2 and 3/4. Michkov is closer to Bedard than he is to anyone else.
