Hello! I will be taking the place for TSN Bob McKenzie.
I'm hoping to create a "HFBOARD" consensus list of the top prospects. I've seen plenty of opinions but I would love to see a consensus of opinions of the top 45 prospects.

Here's what I need:
PM ME your list of the TOP 45 prospects in this year's draft.

Once I get pm'd 30 lists from people. I will go through, attribute values and release stats. I'll also post the list of those 30 scouts involved.

If you want to send me your lists Go ahead!

FUN STATS

1. There were 91 players mentioned on the lists!

2. Only 23 players player appear on all lists!

3. Craig Button ranked Pavel Zacha 31st on his February rankings.

4. Four of our scouts had Zacha ranked 16th or lower

5. Rantanen only received a "Top 6" rank from 2 scouts.

6. Timo Meier was not in the top 90 prospects from Future Considerations in November.

 

[dathockeydoe]

I'm sure there will be discussion on the player as well. Wondering how I should reveal the information. All at once? One per hour? 5 at a time? 15 at a time? Anticipation is part of the fun.

Any thoughts?

 

[Habs76]

Go one every 15 mins

 

[dathockeydoe]

Go one every 15 mins

That would be a full day for me. Haha. Maybe if I'm at home doing paperwork anyways.

Obviously if you don't have time, use different margins, just a suggestion.

 

[landy92mack29]

group of 5 every couple minutes for the top 30 then last 15 after that(kinda like what bob does)

 

[CraigsList]

Sure, I'll be a part of this. I'll PM you my top 45 when you want me to.

 

[dathockeydoe]

Sure, I'll be a part of this. I'll PM you my top 45 when you want me to.

Whenever. As soon as I hit 30 I'm not taking anymore.

 

[dathockeydoe]

I think I'm going to release the Top 10 with thoughts and analysis and then release them 1 by 1 after that. I'll have a major list at the top and little write ups in the thread about each position.

I also think it would be fun to compare them to other lists (Tsn-midseason, McKeens-Midseason) and see how the "collective us" thinks.

 

[GingerJesus28]

im in!

 

[dathockeydoe]

im in!

The only way to be in is pm me your list.
First come first serve.

If I get the rest of the spots filled soon I can release the top 10 tonight.

 

[Stud Muffin]

Can't wait for this to be finished. It's gonna be awesome

 

[dathockeydoe]

Can't wait for this to be finished. It's gonna be awesome

It's actually super interesting to go through. We love some guys and hate other guys. Some guys go super high on some lists.. and don't make the top 45 on others. I'll have a blast giving this info out.

I hope it creates some good discussion on the prospects.

 

[dathockeydoe]

Just need one more gents. Who wants to be the last person to participate?? I don't want to do one since I'm going to be a third party observer. I get to make my personal comments after.

 

[Sundinisagod]

I'm in.

 

[dathockeydoe]

I'm in.

As soon as you send me your top 45 draft prospects then I'll be finished!

 

[dathockeydoe]

ALRIGHT FRIENDS!
I have put up the upcoming numbers and I'll be releasing the names of the players as I see fit. I hope this springs forth discussion. I put more work into this than I initially thought I was going to.

Hope you enjoy!

I've already started a "Fun Stats" section. I'll be adding to that as we go.

1. Connor McDavid - 1349 points

It is as everyone suspected! Here is something you didn't expect however...

29 of 30 scouts placed him at #1, which means that someone did not...

 

[GingerJesus28]

Haha love the "which means someone did not" lol.

how did you come up with the points system!

 

[dathockeydoe]

Haha love the "which means someone did not" lol.

how did you come up with the points system!

45 points for 1st place.
1 point for 45th place...

everything in between accordingly.

... Wut...

 

[dathockeydoe]

2. Jack Eichel - 1321 points

He was also the consensus 2nd overall selection and the only other person to get a #1 vote. Every other occasion saw him in the #2 spot. I think we agree with other scoutings lists to say that McDavid and Eichel really are above the rest of the prospects. The debate begins after these two franchise players.

 

[Stud Muffin]

Who voted eichel 1?
