You couldn't resist :laugh:
It was physically impossible for you to not include a leaf on a list where he is quite obviously the odd man out

- was top defenseman at the world juniors last year
- has the best U19 and 3rd best (min 10 games) U20 (behind Erik Karlsson and John Carlson) seasons for defenceman in the AHL over the past 20 years
- was ranked the 6th best NHL affiliated prospect by Craig Button last year

I don't see what's so controversial about me having him listed as an HM but then again you are quite notorious for being extremely biased towards and against certain teams.

Also if you are gonna call out a list, there are far worst ones on here than the one I presented IMO.

I'm "notorious for being extremely biased towards and against certain teams" when you're the one who just said Sandin was the 17th best player drafted between 2017-2020.

Sandin was ranked 28th among prospects (as a consensus on a board with a ton of leaf fans).
HFBoards TOP 75 Prospects Ranking #69 (nice)

And that list of prospects ranked ahead of Sandin doesn't include current NHL players like: Heiskanen, Q. Hughes, Pettersson, Makar, Svechnikov, Dahlin, J. Hughes, Kakko, Dach, Suzuki, Hischer and Tkachuk.

In what world is Sandin the 17th best player drafted over the past 4 drafts?
So I'm the biased one because I called you out?
Get a grip.

Edit: And what lists are worst? I disagree with a couple people who said Raymond was in the top 15, but at least he is somewhat close. And that one guy listed a bunch of Canuck prospects but some people already called him out. So yeah, if I was going to call any list out it'd be yours. And your list wasn't even bad until the Sandin HM. I didn't even call your list out, I was just laughing that you didn't have the self control to not include a leaf player.

This will be an interesting thread to look back on. This is my list:

1. Lafreniere
2. Pettersson
--
3. Makar
4. Stutzle
5. Heiskanen
6. Dahlin
--
7. Q. Hughes
8. Svechnikov
9. Seider
--
10. J. Hughes
11. Hischier
12. Zegras
13. Byfield
--
14. Tkachuk
15. Dach

Jack Hughes and Byfield being the two with the most potential to move up or down. Drysdale/Lundell/Raymond next in line.
 
Pettersson
Makar
Heiskanen
Svechnikov
Dahlin
Tkachuk
Zegras
Lafreniere
Stuetzle
Cozens
Q Hughes
Dach
Kotkaniemi
Kakko
Drysdale
Byram
J Hughes
Hischier
Byfield
 
about the same level probably. Outside of draft position, I don't see anything Byram has done to be ranked considerably higher.
I thought Sandin was supposed to be a big deal until a Leaf fan told me he was behind Holl, Bogo, and Dermott aka crap. I was shocked. So hearing that, no he isnt in Byram universe yet.

Imagine trying to use an HF poll where Oilers fans voted in Broberg as the 16th best prospect as an accurate reflection on prospect ranking :laugh:

Outside of Kakko (who was terrible in the NHL last year) and Hischier (who i don't believe has a ton of upside) I had all of those NHL players ranked ahead of him.

for the record, after Byfield I believe there are probably a dozen - 2 dozens players who are all in and around the same tier. Those are just the 3 that I decided to list.

As for other questionable/bad ratings how about Askarov in the top 15 or Seider ranked 4th above Q. Hughes, Dahlin, and Makar or Kotkaniemi ranked 11th or Zegras and Stutzle ranked above Pettersson or Byram ranked above Q. Hughes and Dahlin or Chinakov as an HM?
Are you going to call out any of those?
 
1. Pettersson
2. Heiskanen

is clear top2 on my books. Makar, Dahlin, Svech following from some distance.
