A few replies.
Sorry, YOUNG Guns. I don't know what I was thinking when I wrote that.
Frolik is ranked where I would place him if I hadn't heard the hype or knew of his rating when he was a 15-16 year old- in other words an honest assessment. His upward curve is questionable but in terms of his actual play I see difficulties in meshing with his teammates. He overhandles the puck and steers himself into nowheresville. He looks good on the rush and comes back with energy but actually seems to achieve or produce very little (unlike Tlusty).
I really like Wishart. I saw him several times in the WHL and he had that stud DF quality about him. I think he was just too cool and passive at the U18s.
As for individual teams, I have no idea who they will choose. EVERY NHL team will have a few guys in line for that first pick who the scouting agencies have rated #100 or thereabouts. So (and this is purely an example) Montreal could well have, say, Peter Ratchuk rated #12 overall and he'll be their man when the draft comes. That may seem wild if you look only at the rating agencies but NHL teams will definitely have wild cards like this. What's more, if you were with the Montral scouts, having Ratchuk (again, only an example) at #12 in your ratings would start to seem normal... and Redline, McKeens, ISS and Young Guns would look strange.
I never roll my eyes at another scout's, or a knowledgeable fan's or writer's, ratings even though I may disagree. After all, it's hardly a science. Sharkie saw some different games with Williams than I did and that's valid. That's why every NHL has several scouts criss-crossing- so they can get a more well-rounded picture of a player. I freely admit that some of my viewings and opinions may not be well-rounded, although I try to solicit the thoughts of others on players I don't know well (i.e., Swedish fans on Ahnelov in this thread). What I do roll my eyes at is the tendency for some less knowledgeable fans to think there is something "wrong" with a ranking because it differs from an existing ranking made elsewhere, as though these other rankings were considered biblical. Of course, although fans are not really in a position to rank players they have never seen but it's always good to hear what knowledgeable fans have to say on players who they do see a lot.
