Myers not getting enough respect getting blown out by Sanheim and Lindblom ... Button and Pronman's latest prospect rankings had Myers easily the best Flyers prospect (before drafting Patrick) while HockeyNews gave Sanheim the slight edge over Myers.

Nope not today.
eh, it has nothing to do respect. folks have their own reasons. I mean the Flyers have a deep prospect pool. Especially on defense. Someone is going to get "slighted". Myers is still a very good prospect. Even if he finishes 4th or 5th in this poll that is a bad thing considering the prospect pool this team has?
Getting blown out by both Sanheim and Lindblom seems to indicate he isnt quite getting the respect he deserves. Losing is one thing but them blowing him out feels like not enough people followed his past year closely enough and are aware of how highly analysts and scouts raved about and ranked him, especially after his great WJC performance on 1st pair.
As an undrafted signee i suppose it would be a bit tougher for him to supplant a successfully developing 1st rd pick who is already in the pros as well as Lindblom already tearing up a pro league.
**** I voted wrong. I forgot about Linbdlom. Change my Ratcliffe to Lindblom. Ratcliffe will be next. I'm psyched on this dude!
I've got German at 6 behind Morin and Myers. I think Ratcliffe is a guy that is going to wind up having a bigger impact than people expect so I'm going all in on him at #4 (I got too excited and voted him third by accident).

Well, you're not as confused as he is.
Yep. I voted Oskar because he has proven he can not only play against men but can be highly productive in a very competitiveleague. That makes him very projectable in the NHL.
Myers is a real nice prospect, but further away and thus riskier. Same applies to Rubtsov, Ratcliffe, and even BunnyMan (been a fan since "Bring on the Dancing Horses.")

Button has a track record of usually bumping guys way down his list once they're in the AHL. I don't think he watches or follows it all that closely.
The same thing with Lindblom in the SHL. It was pretty clear by some of his Twitter comments he had not seen Lindblom play since the World Juniors.
I'm not knocking Craig. I generally really like him, but he's only one guy. He can't see everything. Most of his focus is elsewhere than the AHL & SHL. I think that explains his ratings much of the time.
The guys here who watch Noranda games and Phantoms games pretty unanimously pick Sanheim over Myers.
