[Ryan Van Horne]

I'm sure this will prompt some "he's too high" and "he's too low" and also some "where the heck is ...."

All the same, here it is.

I know Levshunov was a reach at 2 but let's not pretend he wouldn't be absolutely destroying any junior league in the world right now. Debuting him at 25 seems crazy to me.

Button putting Levshunov at 25 behind Luca Marelli is wild. He's the only Hawk in his top 40 with Rinzel and Boisvert in the late 40s. I'm sure this won't make anybody upset

 

[Voodoo Glow Skulls]

Yep.

That is a list.

 

[Stan Galiev]

Caps with 4 in the top 30 with Lenny at #2. Man our pool has come a long way

 

[Siludin]

Canucks sitting in a playoff spot with two prospects in the top-15 on this list doesn't fit the recent doom & gloom plot, but here I am on the first page, ready to hit the refresh button.

Was expecting it to be horrible, it lived up.

On NO planet is;

Levshunov out of the top 20
Buium in the top 5
Hage or Cowan above Luchanko
Silayev out of the top 25
Cole Hutson also way too high

I know Levshunov was a reach at 2 but let's not pretend he wouldn't be absolutely destroying any junior league in the world right now. Debuting him at 25 seems crazy to me.

He wasn't a reach, most people had him at 2 or 3. He went where he was supposed to go.

It’s a list folks. Make your own and you’ll feel better.

 

[Random Comment]

At least he has the top 3 right
