Carl Grundstrom and Bracco are so underrated, Valiev will never be an NHLer. Grundstrom is very very likely. Both shoulda been 16 and 17 respectively

Auston Matthews
Good thing he already played in the NHL this year.
It's very common for players in their first season out of Juniors. Especially defenseman.

man u must not watch games...how can any1 use the word 'soft' to describe hyman...he chases the puck and crashes into boards with such recklessness, he could be knocked out every game, but he still goes for it to make plays
I think at this stage it is more about preferences of people between more for sure floor and higher ceiling.
I believe that players that got most votes can be described as following:
Leivo - pretty high chance that he is 3rd liner, but has some potential of 2nd line scorer; So for me, he will be #4W.
Hyman - even higher chance that he is 3rd liner, but has lower potential to become 2nd liner; For me #5W, but higher chance to achive it than Leivo.
Bracco - lower chance of making the NHL but has the highest ceiling of all remaining prospects, can become 1st liner; His potential #2W, but with lower chance.
Grundstorm - I would put him ahead of Leivo and Hyman on his ceiling, but can't comment on his chances to become NHL player. Probably higher than Leivo, on par with Hyman, because he was playing with man before his draft year. I see him as 2nd line winger, great compliment for Nylander. #3W.
Woll - has #1G potential, but we don't know how realistic it is. Is he really better than Bibeau?
People are also forgetting Lindberg, who had quite good numbers with BabySens and also showed quite well in NHL. I would put him close with Leivo and Hyman, maybe even ahead of them.
Also Corrado played in NHL this season, but it seems that his ceiling is #5D. Which is probably also a ceiling of Loov.

Lindberg was Ottawa's 7th best prospect last year and will probably not crack our top 20. http://mynhltraderumors.com/2015-16-ottawa-senators-top-10-prospects/2015/09/21/

Thats quite subjective, really. We won't know for a few years, but there are some really talented players that got picked in the later rounds.
I should add, from what I've read, most people have been saying the top 75-100 picks are quite solid in this raft

err... they're comparing Lindberg to Alfredsson.
Either the writer is being a bit optimistic, or just loosely describing a playstyle, or we should have put the guy in ahead of Matthews for #1 on this list. ... He can't seriously have that kind of ceiling?
All they said about Alfredsson was this:
"Watching Lindberg play reminds some of another late round steal of the Sens – Daniel Alfredsson." And he was talking about watching him in junior.
You are taking the quote WAAAAAAAAAAAAY beyond it's intention.
Just because two players are mentioned in the same sentence, doesn't mean the person is saying they are and will be equal caliber players.

Most of their prospects wouldn't crack our top 20. Bailey is one of their best wing prospects, and Rupert actually has a legit shot over there. That says something considering they would be at or near the bottom here. Even guys like Herzog, Cameranesi, Piccinich, etc. are quite a distance ahead of both, and they are at the bottom these days.

The fact we have 20 A or B prospects is incredible. Nobody can deny it's the best pool in the league.
Visit the mainboard once and you'll see it disputed quite a bit haha, I agree that Toronto has one of the best pools in the league but Winnipeg has an impressive pool aswell and don't forget about arizona, philly. It's gonna be competitive

Leivo is not an NHLer. He can't skate. Would be shocked to see him on the team ahead of Hyman.
I just went back and looked through some of the prospect rankings threads from 2013.
It is really, really sad. But also a great lesson on overrating prospects. In a way, it's kinda fun to watch people talking about the likes of Matt Finn and Jerry D'amigo as if they were can't miss prospects.
Just something to keep in mind when you start to believe that all of our prospects are golden.
