It's a little strange to me that Shestyorkin got so much support at #3, but Georgiev, who is slightly younger, has already established himself in the NHL, was picked for Russia's WC team over Shestyorkin, and will probably play ahead of Igor on the Rangers this season, didn't get any support at all. I get the support for Igor, but on paper it seems to me like there should have been at least be some debate between the two of them.

I'll add Reunanen. He's a strong skater with very good vision / offensive skills and NHL size, his Liiga point total last season has only been bested by Esa Lindell, Sami Vatenen, Ville Polka, and Sami Niku among U21 defensemen in the last 10 years, and he improved dramatically over the course of the last season, culminating with him putting up almost a point per game in the Liiga playoffs.

I put georgiev at 4 and really it should be a 3b because at the same age is Shesterkin really better than georgiev? I’m not so sure. I think georgiev is a stud. Love his game.

I’d have Miller Fox Rykov Lundkvist Robertson right after them
 
Funny I didn’t realize till thinking that my next 3 are probably D. I could maybe talk myself out of it between now and then, I suppose, but it was only Key-Fox-Nils here.

I gave the edge here to Miller. Highest upside IMO and he did something this year that makes me not only believe in him as a defenseman but also makes me believe in that potential.

Fox for me after that probably because he’s technically accomplished more but I was impressed and thus encouraged by his season. Similar to Miller in that regard.

Physically, Miller is just superior. That's where the gap is, comparing 'ceilings'. He could be playing at 6'4 220 with turbo boosters.

And Lundkvist is playing a very reliable 2-way game as an 18-year old in the 3rd best league in the world, for a top team, playing 18-19 minutes and about to be moved up to the top pairing. Top-10 in scoring among 18-year old D-men since 2000, used in all situations, even defending a lead in the final minutes. That's huge for a kid his age.

I'm not knocking Lundkvist. I think he will be a great player.

If both players develop fully and hit their full potential/ceiling, Miller would be the more valuable player IMO. That doesn't mean Miller will hit that ceiling or will be the better player.

Again. I disagree. I think a top-pair 2-way RHD who is really good in his own zone is probably the most valuable asset you can have on defense.

To counter this, Miller led his team in scoring as a freshman D before he went down for the rest of the season.

I can't remember the last time that happened.

this section of the list is rough...totally agree the shesty and george are neck and neck but at the same time how do you justify having 2 of miller, fox & nils outside the top 5...our system is insane right now
