dlbalr Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Usually I remember to start this thread at the beginning of the series. Whoops. Most of the rankings have already been revealed aside from the top-5 which will go up tomorrow or soon after but better late than never to get this going I guess... Below are the rankings. (The HW writers as a group voted for the top-10, I put together the rest.) 1) F Nikita Scherbak 2) F Jacob de la Rose 3) F Michael McCarron 4) D Noah Juulsen 5) F Charles Hudon 6) G Zach Fucale 7) D Jarred Tinordi 8) F Sven Andrighetto 9) F Martin Reway 10) F Artturi Lehkonen 11) F Jeremy Gregoire 12) F Daniel Carr 13) D Brett Lernout 14) F Tim Bozon 15) F Lukas Vejdemo 16) F Christian Thomas 17) D Darren Dietz 18) F Daniel Audette 19) F Mark MacMillan 20) D Mac Bennett 21) F Matt Bradley 22) D Dalton Thrower 23) D Ryan Johnston 24) D Simon Bourque 25) G Michael McNiven 26) F Connor Crisp 27) D Nikolas Koberstein 28) F Jeremiah Addison 29) D Joel Hanley 30) F Gabriel Dumont 31) F Jake Evans 32) G Hayden Hawkey 33) D Morgan Ellis 34) F Joonas Nattinen 35) F Stefan Fournier 36) D Colin Sullivan Articles 1-5 6-1011-1516-2021-2526-3031-36 Top-10 Fan Vote Any rankings that you think are too high/too low?

DON Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted October 22, 2015 Author Share Posted October 22, 2015 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.

DON Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
