Include all player who is not established in NHL
What I saw from some CHL game, NCAA, U17, U18 - U20, Jrn A challenge, Memorial Cup, Rookie tournament and pre-season. I don't see the games in europe (Liiga,SHL,KHL) therefore international tournaments is really important for me to evaluate them. The problem is that it's small tournaments in a short time , so i don't have the best vision for some Euro player

I'm a french canadian who does not speak English very well . I have a description for every player in top 50 in french but translate it into English is too long for me . If you have any question about these player or question about my rankings , i will do my best , but keep in head that i'm not talk well your languages

My first list is there , one year ago . Keller was 1 , McCavoy 3 , Boeser 11 , Girard 19 . If I look at it a year later, I think it's a decent list

If Andrew Neilson is 113, than Dermott deserves to be about 100 spots higher.

He's the Leafs 7th or 8th best prospect.

You have Kole Lind twice on your list at 106 & 111. Also, he is way too low on it.

100 to 160 is pretty random but never that Dermott has such a big gap with Nielsen . Dermott is pretty good offensively and play a smart game but he is still a small left defensemen who does not have the wow factor . No dominant skills at all . Nielsen is big and strong with a very good shot . He don't have the IQ of Dermott but still had a good first pass . If you have Dermott ahead of Nielsen i understand but never that Nielsen and Dermott had this gap in my book . You probably see Marlies more often so maybe you're right too

Thanks.

Lot of people will find 1-2 player who will be too low , it's okay and normal . The games I saw, Lind did not impress me . Part of scouting i guest . I can see 3 match of such a player when you need nothing good on the ice and you see 4 match where he fills the goal , it's happens

Chytil needs to be way higher than 21. He’s top 10.

The gap is pretty significant. Dermott is the Leafs 3rd best prospect, Neilson somewhere around 7-10. Personally I have him ranked lower (just going with a consensus) as he has major skating issues, laterally, pivoting etc. He gets exposed on the regular. His decision making leaves alot to be desired as well.

To be a nhl ready , i say yes is a top 10 . Chytil is so strong that he can play with men but i have to go for long term and i prefer the skilz package of Suzuki/Andersson/Necas for that .

because the people say that Dermott is the 3rd prospect that it becomes a fact? No . And it's not a list that follows a consensus . I love debating about these prospect but leave the consensus alone, this is not an argument .


Funny because last year i don't have ranked Nielsen and I got quibbled and this time is the opposite

Leafs fans last year ''The Leafs best prospect after Kapanen is Andrew Nielsen (maybe he is 3rd to Grundstrom). Personally, I'd switch him from Bracco.''

Time fly

You don't seem to know much about Leaf prospects, so I'll leave it alone. It's tough putting together a list this extensive, so it's understandable.

Impressive list. Bruins with 7 in the top 150, and I think you got the order of them almost exact. I would have Zboril in there too, but everyone will have some quibble. Nice job.

Chytil is the most skilled player there though.. Andersson isn’t exactly that skilled though coming from a Rangers fan. He just thinks the game highly and has a better shot

Just curious... why are Jost and Chabot included on your list but not Hishier and Patrick?

The Avs fan in me loves to see Makar at #1 even though my brain may not necessarily agree.

Liljegren about 9 spots too low

Good one.
