It's a pretty typical Craig Button list. Bizarre. He had Wyatt Johnston as a third round pick going into the draft last year and now he's the 9th best prospect in the game? He's obviously having a great year but he has him at NINE. Ahead of Marco Rossi. And Brandt Clarke (whom he rated 2 going into the draft and has had a strong year.) He's higher than Eklund, Holtz, Luke Hughes. I have a feeling this list is going to be a bit of an outlier.
Also - another note on Wyatt Johnston. Let's not do what I see happening in this thread. Let's not act like we were all disappointed that the Bruins didn't pick Johnston with their first round pick. NO ONE had him rated that high. He's blown up this year but people were a bit surprised at Dallas picking him at 23. I've seen this happen a couple of times when discussing Lysell recently. He was the scratch player at that point who has had a really strong draft + 1 season. That another guy behind him has improved should not be an indictment or a reason to revise history.
I would have been fine with Johnston as the pick
But still dont think he has the ceiling of Lysell
