Ooooo some interesting rankings

 

Love Bouchard at 3. Such a strange prospect. Those who watch a lot of junior hockey rank him high. Those that are stat watchers try to say his stats are inflated and he isn’t as good as they suggest. You’d think it would be the other way around.

Anyway Bouchard is the real deal. Although as an OHL watcher I don’t know what you’re missing on Svechnikov go drop him to 5 lol. Great work on the list with some reaaaaal bold outliers.

 

Gotta read the writeup on Svechnikov for it to make sense.

 

Ok i followed and retwitted

 

Followed and retweeted as well.

 

Aww, I don't have a Twitter.

 

Don't have twitter as well.

 

It's cool seeing Tychonick being rated in the 2nd-Round. The Vees have produced a couple high end prospects lately and it's nice to see.

 

I find having Kotkaniemi at 17 more impressive.

 

Got mine, reading it now...!

 

Three dudes named Rasmus? Is that a pretty common name over there in Europe?

 

Very nice, thanks for the hard work.

Side note, and I know I am not the first to make the connection, but were you on a (your name here) when you finalized the rankings?

 

@Bender, are you willing to PM us non-twitter plebs the detailed report?

 

Please

 

Of course!
Done!

 

That’d be me as well @Bender

 

Ditto ??

 

I will do a happy dance if Farabee is there for us at #16. Would be a perfect pick.

 

So many prospect, so tempting to sell. How many 1sts can we get for Mack?

Thanks for this, my favorite scouting of the year.
