[Lunatik]

Looks interesting after Gillies, where will his votes go in round 4? We have Janko & Klimchuk with 4 each and Kylington & Ortio with 5 each

For me personally it goes to Klimchuk.

For me personally it goes to Klimchuk.

Aye, me too. He's the real #3 on my list.

 

[Anglesmith]

Really a tough choice. Ortio/Janko/Klimchuk are my next three, but in what order?

Klimchuk, Janko, several other guys, McDonald, more guys, Ortio.

I rank Andersson and to some extent Kylington pretty high as well.

So do I, Hickey as well. I just don't understand the hype around Ortio.

I have Kylington ever so slightly ahead of Andersson, but I have no issues with anyone that have them flip flopped. Andersson is a safer bet to play and almost has as high of upside IMO. That said, I think Kylington has the potential to be a truly elite dman in the NHL. I don't buy at all that his ceiling tops out as a 2nd line, PP specialist. Sure he may become that, but I think he can be an elite player if he puts it all together.

I think it depends on how heavily you value NHL readiness. Ortio is pretty close to making the show in some capacity.

It's similar to how in past years Bouma was rated outside the top 10, even though his floor as an NHL player was pretty high.

This is the eternal debate, that's why I love Anglesmith's "Gun to the Head" mentality.
