So I’ve kept track of every prospect ranking I came across this year, and have averaged out the scores for every player that was ranked even once. This includes pro scouting services (McKeens, Future Considerations), bloggers (LWOS), and posters on the prospect boards (
@Tryamkin). I cut out the rankings from before Christmas because, while they’re interesting to look at to see who is a riser/faller, they skew the averages too much to be relevant to the current picture of where people are at. Again, this is an average of the rankings, so my intention was to get a very general picture of where different players are likely to go. It has nothing to do with predicting who might get picked where, just where they are ranked on average.
With that said, players between #29 and #45, in order, that we could get a crack at with our first pick include:
Calen Addison, D
Jett Woo, D
Martin Kaut, RW
Alexander Alexeyev, D
Ty Dellandrea, C
Jack McBain, C
Mattias Samuelsson, D
BO Groulx, C
Filip Hallander, C
Jonatan Berggren, RW
Johnny Tychonick, D
Allan McShane, C
Jesse Ylönen, RW
Alexander Khovanov, C
Blake McLaughlin, LW
Jake Wise, C
To me, that’s a really good group to pick from. I hope we hang on to #29 so we don’t miss out
