LOL ... when I saw Kiviranta at 1 I was thinking well I guess the hype .... still ridiculous ... but man that thing just keeps giving when you get to #2 and #5.
The thing that hurts my soul though is it was written by Tracey Myers. She use to write for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. They never had a dedicated Stars reporter, but she covered them as well as other sports. I really liked her. I knew when she left she ended up back in hockey. I think I remember seeing her on the Chicago beat for a while. I didn't know she was writing for NHL.com. I'm truly stunned she is the author of that list.
I'm trying to find some sliver of understanding. Maybe she was going for the absolute closest proximity to NHL rather than potential or quality. That's the only thing that would explain Kiviranta and Caamano at 1 and 2. I don't know though ... this is a pretty irredeemable list.
