Drury and Laviolette Must Go
Thanks ! I'm curious, which player ranking do you disagree the most with ?
Kaliyev and Nikkanen.
Kaliyev, I understand why some rank him so low. I guess if you think his goal-scoring will not translate to the NHL, its a justified ranking. But I think someone who scores that prolifically as a junior can figure out how to iron out the easier parts of the game.
I think Nikkanen is just very underrated. I see him ranked pretty low on a lot of lists. I don't know if he has the dynamic offensive game to be a high-end forward in the NHL, but I think his all-around game will get him there, and he'll be a good NHL'er.
