It's time for an update to our media/scout list. There's still lots of meaningful hockey to be played (rest of the CHL regular season, CHL playoffs, U18's), but it's always great to see how opinions change over the course of a season.
Just so happens that things have changed quite a bit. We've got a switch at the top of the list. The guy who placed 10th (Greg Meireles) last time around didn't even get a vote this time. And a ton of other movement up and down has occurred. The OHL has a few top notch prospects available for this draft (Tippett and Vilardi), and quite a few guys who are emerging as potential first rounders. The depth of the league is looking very strong with the potential to occupy close to 40% of the players drafted in the first two rounds. Because of this, the variance of opinion is quite vast. Not only are the masses split on who the top player is (11 to 6), but twelve different players received votes for the top 5. In addition to that, only four players received votes from all 17 contributors.
The List:
1. Owen Tippett
2. Gabe Vilardi
3. Nic Hague
4. Nick Suzuki
5. Robert Thomas
6. Matt Strome
7. Isaac Ratcliffe
8. Michael Dipietro
9. Alex Formenton
10. Ivan Lodnia
HM's
Sasha Chmelevski
Conor Timmins
Mackenzie Entwistle
Morgan Frost
Markus Phillips
Adam Ruzicka
Jason Robertson
At the link you'll find lots of goodies on each player, with comments and ranking breakdowns.
As always, happy to answer any questions.
