Nice list, any reason for Martin being outside a first?

I might’ve just not seen the right games from him, honestly. In the ones I have seen, I just haven’t seen a player that is super interesting to me. I feel like he’s a decent player, but I’m not sure if he possesses a set of tools that would justify taking him in the first round. There are just better players ahead of him in my opinion.

Impressively long lists. How many of these kids have you seen playing? Ever? This season? At least three times?

Personally, every player I’ve ranked I’ve watched play league games. It’s more difficult for me to see European players in quantity, but guys like Eklund and Frondell I’ve watched multiple games of because they are highly regarded. But, you’ll always see a N.A. bias in my rankings because it’s not easy to watch the Czech League for instance.

Believe me, a lot of these draft pundits are not watching as many games as you think despite them making a living off of it.
