Not as clear cut for a #1 prospect as it was last year.
so many candidates this year.
it wasn't clear cut last year. I can't remember the last time there was a clear cut #1
Mittelstadt was ranked #1 by Pronman and Pettersson was not in the top 5 this time last year
also, Heiskanen imo was #1 but Button didn't even have him in the top 10
It was more clear cut than this year
Button had him one
The hockey writers had him one
multiple the athletic writers had him 1
ESPN had him 1
This year I dont think anyone would be shocked if lists had 10 different guys at 1
Chytil is 3.5 months older than Kravtsov and is producing 0.37 ppg in the NHL vs Kravtsov's 0.46 ppg in the KHL
both teams are comparably trash so that can't be used
but Chytil wasn't even in anyone's top 10 last year although I ranked him #1 with Heiskanen #2 and Pettersson #3 (was realistically my #3)
