The Kinder, Gentler Version
For Portland, St. John, and Oshawa Fans...
This draft is a little bit unique, from what I can tell, in that a lot of the top prospects play on teams with a ton of other top prospects eligible for this draft or for the draft previous. It can make side-by-side comparisons a lot more easy to make than in a typical draft year.
I’d love to hear input from Portland Winterhawks fans on how guys like Rattie and Baertschi stack up to one another and to guys like Johansen and Neiderreiter.
For Oshawa Generals fans, I would like to hear the same input on the likes of Christian Thomas, Nicklas Jensen, Boone Jenner, and Lucas Lessio.
For St. John and the Seadogs, I’d love to hear how Huberdeau, Phillips, Jurco, and Galiev stack up to one another.
If you are a person lucky enough to watch one of these three teams on a regular basis, I’d really, really appreciate your input here. There are four players on each team that I would really like compared and contrasted.
If fans of each team could fill in the rankings with the four players from their teams, I think we could all gain some valuable insight.
Some rankings…
