Going with Walsh here.
Add Gignac.
Also agree with DD. McLeod is down in my list. Probably around 5 or 6. Hopefully he proves me wrong.
How is Walsh over Anderson on your list? Walsh is legit years away because of college.
McLeod and Anderson are both pros this year.
Well if rumors are true, he is turning pro this season now.

McLeod @ 2 for 3 straight years...It's an interesting commentary. It looks more like wishful thinking than honest prospect ranking....I really don't see how anyone could possibly have McLeod over Joey Anderson in any logical analysis.Is the ranking who is closest to making the NHL or who you think the best prospect is? If it's the former, Smith probably shouldn't be 1. It would realistically be JQ.
I take this poll to be who I think will be the best player, whether it be this year or several years down the line.
I like McLeod better then Anderson. I may have even voted him #1.McLeod @ 2 for 3 straight years...It's an interesting commentary. It looks more like wishful thinking than honest prospect ranking....I really don't see how anyone could possibly have McLeod over Joey Anderson in any logical analysis.
Personally I don't think McLeod belongs in the top 5 based on the criteria who will be the best player.

People poo on McLeod's #'s, but if he was a 3rd round pick and posted those #'s, while also bringing the other attributes to the table, fans we be ga ga.
Yeah, nah. Andersons numbers last year were not spectacular. Comparing college #'s to juniors #'s is pretty difficult, but there is no way you can say his performance blew away McLeod.If he was a 3rd round pick it would be a very promising pick...But he was an #11 overall...(I know he was actually a #12) -- A fasting grinding player like a Coleman or Wood is right for the 3rd round not #11
But the meat of the matter is what Anderson did in his Draft +1 and +2 blows away anything McLeod has done since being drafted
lol this didn't help mikey's caseI like McLeod better then Anderson. I may have even voted him #1.

to me, it's more than just numbers, it's also what we project the player to become at the NHL level. so in that regard, no doubt there's some amount of wishful thinking, but i don't think it completely dictates that joey < mikey. for example, i think style of play contributes to why most would rank mikey over joey. mikey is universally seen as a catalyst on the ice in both zones and, not to mention, plays the more important position. conversely, while joey's numbers look great, his style is more complimentary and, while he does a lot of things well, he doesn't have one super high end aspect to his game. it's still completely reasonable that joey surpasses mikey at some point in time, but i think a lot of people still look at mikey and think he can slot in comfortably behind Nico and drive a lineIf he was a 3rd round pick it would be a very promising pick...But he was an #11 overall...(I know he was actually a #12) -- A fasting grinding player like a Coleman or Wood is right for the 3rd round not #11

Not all. It was to be expected...They lost a ton of offensive talent to graduation it was pretty well know before the season that would happen.Aethon, since you mentioned Anderson’s freshman year, do you think it hurts his rankings that his production decreased his sophomore year?
I think both McLeod and Anderson are overrated, but I like Anderson more as he seems to have some actual hockey sense.
