Here’s a quick top 40. Everyone I listed I’ve seen multiple games of. There are some guys I like (Dorofeyev and some others) but I haven’t seen enough of them to properly rank them. This list is about the guys I’ve legit watched, so if I’m missing anyone that should be on this list, feel free to drop their name and I’ll check them out.
*- for Broberg, I’ve really liked what I’ve seen at Hlinka. He was pretty much an unknown before though so I’d like to see him continue with that Hlinka play before giving him a top 10 ranking. I think 14 is fair for now.
