Timmins dropped to #113 because of uncertainty around concussion. If healthy, he would be in #80-85 range between Newhook and Bowers on COL board and between Josh Brook and Ian Mitchell on RHD board.
As for Kaut (#127), I think its easy for some to match him with someone like Necas since they have often been international teammates, but I think they are pretty far apart and this year's production backs that up. I feel pretty good about his spot here.
Ya see I still feel like that's sleeping on Timmins pretty hard.
Concussion raises concerns but if he was healthy this year I dont even this he'd be considered a prospect anymore. I suspect by November or December he would've earned a shot with the Avs and never looked back.
Gotta remember he was the best Dman for Canada at the World Juniors when they won gold. +/- isn't a great stat by any means but when you're a +15 in an 8 game tournament and the next highest in the tournament is a +8... that's pretty insane. Then he puts together a fantastic finish to his OHL season and followed it up with a real strong playoffs before his injury.
Before this most recent season it was a legit conversation between Avs fans regarding who was the better prospect between Makar and Timmins. Then Makar went and make College hockey his bitch for a year and Timmins didn't get a chance to play again.
IF(A big IF I admit) Timmins can come back this season and not miss a beat... I really dont think there's very many Defensive prospects in the league above him. I think he's that good. I'd have him in the Top 20 for overall prospects no question if he regains form and builds off his D+1 season.
As for Kaut. I agree he's nowhere near Necas. I personally think he's inside a Top 100 list, probably in the 90-100 range for me but I also agree very little separates prospects at that point so I dont think its a big deal that he's off the list. Though again I'd have him well above Bowers at this point which is where I'd take an issue with the Avs rankings.
Basically you have what 4 Avs prospects on that list I think... With Makar at #5, Byram at #8, Newhook at #55 and Bowers at #98...
For me the 4 prospects I would have listed would be Makar(And he'd be #2 for me), Byram(#5 for me), Timmins(He'd be in that 20-30 range on my list), and then Newhook(I'd have him around #75 I think).
