agreed, but may not be included since hes played 11 games in the NHL

Although Brannstrom shouldnt be there in that case

well, Sandin also has 29 games so i have no idea.

just saw this is Button's list, maybe he just doesnt like him he is pretty consensus top 5 though

Close between Ottawa and Edmonton.

i dont think Ottawa and Edmonton are all that close

True, also has Bouchard for EDM who's played a bit

Could be non active rostered players

 

[Captain97]

Ottawa

Almost Everyone else is fairly close.

Vancouver

 

[Lemmiwinks]

Ottawa

Almost Everyone else is fairly close.

Vancouver

For the record, Utunen isn’t even close to our top 5. Zlodeyev is also questionable. Woo and McDonough are the other notables

Seems to be players that haven’t graduated.
Brannstrom just went to Belleville for 4 games and put up 5 points.

 

[Mrb1p]

MTL for the same reason Edmonton has the best core in the league, they have the better player by far.

Caufield blows every single canadian prospect out of the water save for Heinola and Robertson. WPG doesn't have any depth after Perfetti and Toronto has Sandin = Harris/Guhle as fringe top 4 Ds.

But then where's Zegras, Drysdale...

Not sure

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Ottawa.
Not close.
The rest are pretty much a tie with a small handful of fans homer voting.

 

[Habano]

Went with the homer vote because of Caufield. Overall though, Ottawa's crop is hard to beat.
Also, not knowing what criteria Button used for these lists, if eligible, I would rather have Sean Farrell on the list instead of Norlinder.

 

[AKL]

OTT/EDM - The depth of quality prospects has these 2 above the others
WPG - Heinola and Perfetti are better than what the teams below have
TOR/MTL - Interchangeable, maybe a slight edge to TOR for depth but meh
CGY - Don't necessarily have the high end pieces of the teams above them, but some decent depth
VAN - Their prized prospect is an offensively stunted middle six winger

 

[Connor McConnor]

Ottawa
Edmonton
Montreal/Toronto
Winnipeg

Calgary
Vancouver

 

[Doc5]

Voted Ottawa.
Their strategy of trying to draft the entire North Dakota team is paying dividends.

i dont think of Caufield that highly. i would rather have Jake Sanderson in terms of who is presented on this list.

he's pretty comparable to Holloway/Robertson/Perfetti in terms of forward prospects

Perfetti is in another tier above Caufield, Holloway, Robertson. Perfetti is the best forward prospect in Canada.

fair to say he's the best, but its not by a lot IMO. all 4 are comparable

I love Robertson, and I had him just above Caufield on draft day, but its pretty clear Caufield has surpassed anyone in the canadian division with his last 30 games in the NCAA, its not really close. Kinda awkward that you'd mention Holloway as around Caufield when they both played on the same thing and things aren't relatively close, to be fair.

Sanderson was a reach and probably doesn't even go top 10 in a re-draft, he's right around the bolded defenders in talent.

Also let me guess, you think Sandin blows these guys out of the water ? Lmao.
