Prospect ranking isn't solely based upon the single datapoint of how likely a prospect is to reach the NHL. Equally important, is upside.
Remember the premise of our rankings is 'if you can only keep one'.
I know. And I agree. But guys like Phillips were 7th round picks for a reason. He's got some potential for sure. But I give less than a 1% of being an NHL player. This guy is not John Gaudreau. Yes he had a great shootout move and one nice deke in the prospect camp, but he also got destroyed 3 times and didn't show great vision, he's not super fast and he makes Gaudreau look big. Him over guys like Ollas-Matsson or Pribyl who both are solid prospects is craziness to me.
