Any rankings that you think are too high/too low?

Bourque should be 4 or 5 spots higher.

Tinordi a bit too high.

Scherbak nor Juulsen should be in top 5.

Andrighetto, Hudon, Reway, Lehkonen, de la Rose would be my top 5, maybe Hudon at #1

I agree on Tinordi. Some writers were really high on him, others weren't. I fell into the latter category as he was off my ballot entirely (top-10 + 2 honourable mentions). I had Lernout as the #2 d-man.

I'm surprised you're that high on Andrighetto. He was literally a coin flip to barely crack my top-10. I don't think he's good enough to be a top six winger in the NHL. He could be a decent fit as a skilled third liner but that's not top prospect material for me.

With Bourque, I generally try to slot the picks from the most recent draft in the order they were picked so even though I think he's probably a better prospect than someone like Bradley, he'll start behind the 5th rounder for this year. I made an exception with McNiven (not slotting him behind Addison) but that was simply because he had the strong rookie tourney performance and was set to become the starter in Owen Sound this year.

Just some like Thrower, Audette, Bradley I would put Bourque ahead of.

Andrighetto maybe at #5 and will see this year if he can improve on his offense, if he gets another crack at big club.

Some hint that Tinordi just dosent have puck skills/smarts to be a NHLer and I am leaning that way also with every errant pass, fumbled puck he makes or has.

I know you guys put a lot more time in slotting these guys, but just don't have good feeling about McCarron still.
