Quick glance. Most of the OHL guys are too high (especially the 2 in the top 10), Newhook at 16 is surprising, and Boldy outside the first is shocking.

Always seem to overrate Swedish U18 national team underage players. Grewe just doesn't have enough IQ, might be slightly better but he gives me a ton of Anton Karlsson vibes. Björnfot is your typical 2nd rounder, solid player but doesn't excel in any area. Holmström is a significntly better prospect than those two. Söderström at 15 seems reasonable.

I could see Nikkanen moving up to the 1st round and Kokkonen falling outside. We'll see how it goes from here.

I'm not that familiar with the 2019 class yet other than the top-10 or so. But there are a few on my radar that are possible top-100 talents: Daniil Misyul, Amir Garayev, and Vladislav Kolyachonok.

Ranking of Toman, Prikryl and Teply is fine. I would have Teply a bit higher, but for a preliminary list it's okay. Strondala however has nothing to do in the top 100. Talented player, but with his size he would need to have a truly great season to get drafted at all.
I don't understand how Martin Has didn't make the list. Adam Najman, Martin Lang and Jonas Peterek are others who I think could be top 100 material.

I really like the top 4.

I don't see why Lavoie would be outside of the top 10. Also like Cam York a lot. I expect Korczak and Rees to jump up a lot compared to where they are ranked now.

It seems a little Canada heavy right now in the top of the draft, but that's likely due to exposure

Love Turcotte at #2. He may not end up there but he will most likely stay a top10 prospect for this draft.

I wouldn't slot Turcotte ahead of Kakko based on their U18 performance alone. Maybe the C factor has something to do with that. Nevertheless it's going to be interesting seeing if the two and Hughes form the "big three" or if there are some late raisers to enter and challenge them. Personally I think this is going to an exciting draft year and I don't think anything has been set in the stone just yet.

1 of Krebs,Cozens or Dach will challenge for 1st overall

No they won't. Barring an injury Hughes is going first overall 99.9%. I think 2 of those guys might go 2nd and 3rd overall but will not challenge for first.

Newhook seems a fair bit low to me in these ranking but rest seems good.

5 guys in the top 10 from the WHL, 3 of them forwards. Interesting to see how that plays out over the year. I'm no expert but it seems to me the WHL doesn't have the history of producing high end forward talent.

Sakic, Trottier, Clarke, Clark, McDonald, Modano, Iginla, Neely, Fleury, Linden, Ferraro, Getzlaf, Marleau, Benn, and Hossa (to name but a few) strongly disagree. Probably only OHL and QMJHL can provide a better foreward lineup.

Boldy, Newhook, Honka and Höglander are low and Dorofeyev not there but beside that it's a nice list.

Also, Alistrov could be a riser if he play in the Whl.

That’s literally one guy in the past twenty years. I bet the second tier Swedish league could beat that.
