[Zaddy]

Will be interesting to see how his rankings of Turcotte and Newhook age.

 

[Tryamkin]

Kakko rises up the list to 2

 

[JiggsNY]

Will be interesting to see how his rankings of Turcotte and Newhook age.

I think his Turcotte ranking is fine for now. He hasn't played in weeks with an injury, so i can give that a pass, but i do believe Turcotte will go much earlier.

 

[jvr32]

Double overager Brett Leason from Prince Albert Raiders ranked 46th

 

[Bonin21]

Kallionkieli climbing. His rankings are just what have you done for me lately, but at least it's something to look at I guess.

 

[landy92mack29]

No Pavel Dorofeyev, Sasha Mutala or Oleg Zaitsev is bad and Broberg should be falling hard.

 

[DDRhockey]

Victor Söderström at 26?! Thats not gonna happen

 

[kroypuck]

York at 24? Soderstrom at 26? Robertson at 28?

Like this list - Kakko, Dach and Boldy all deserve their rise in rankings. Turcotte seems crazy low though.

He's been extremely low for Button for awhile. So, while I think the ranking is a bit ridiculous, its not shocking given he didn't think he was one of the best 19 prospects for this draft in 2019 when he did rankings post 2017 U-17 challenge.

 

[Lemonlimey]

Martin Hugo Has the best name in the draft!

 

[Mickey the mouse]

No Egor Efanasev , Muskegon USHL ? 6'3" 203 LF
5 gp 9 pts ... 5 G - 4 A
He's in the top 2-3 2001 in USHL outside of NTDP I've seen

 

[kabidjan18]

I love that top 10. Wouldn't change a thing. Almost crying right now.

 

[AveryStar4Eva]

Yikes Honka at 38. He’s one of the most talented defencemen in this years draft.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Still high on Cozens.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Should swap Broberg and Honka on that list haha

 

[Daximus]

How anyone still has Broberg over Byram.. I said it at the time and I'll say it again. Broberg is riding the Hlinka like Juolevi rode the WJC.

 

[BusQuets]

Hughes still #1? From what i've heard from scouts he will not be there for long.

 

[Frk It]

I don’t get the aversion to ranking Byram higher at all...

 

[93LEAFS]

How anyone still has Broberg over Byram.. I said it at the time and I'll say it again. Broberg is riding the Hlinka like Juolevi rode the WJC.

Juolevi was pretty constant in most places from November on. WJC and Memorial helped solidify it, but he wasn't a guy who rose significantly there. HockeyProspect.com had him at 6 in November (where he finished), and Button had him at 14 (to finally rank him at 9). It may have held his stock, but I don't think it dramatically altered it. He was 13 in Bob's pre-season (before he played a single game in London), was 7th mid-season, and finished 6th in Bob's final.

Players ride Hlinka in Button's rankings all the time, but he tends to be an anomaly.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Why do people listen to this guy? He puts crazy emphasis on certain international tournaments that he happens to watch. It doesn't appear like he watches many club games for these players.

He's entitled to his opinion, but he's no expert. Does he even work on a daily basis in prospect analysis or does he work part time at TSN and tune into the big tournaments like fans and make a call or two here or there to scouts because he has contacts in the industry? TSN does their viewers a big disservice trotting this guy out as their prospect expert.

 

[Rabid Ranger]

Hughes still #1? From what i've heard from scouts he will not be there for long.

You mean Blade Paradigm?

 

[Kaako Kappo]

Yikes Honka at 38. He’s one of the most talented defencemen in this years draft.

The way he has performed lately does not support this

 

[SAM STEVENS]

Button needs to unbutton his pants because he is full of hot air... This guy I hear is buddies with Hughes dad maybe that's why the heavy pimping.
