Thompson will go higher.

Thanks for posting your list though!!!

I don’t see how Raymond goes in the top 5 rn. Not having a stellar season as some expected....

I'd disagree. He's just been given very limited ice time so far, and hasn't had good linemates. Considering the situation he's producing pretty well

I switched rankings of Byfield and Raymond, so I'm a little down on him right now. He has been good this season playing for Sweden in international tournaments such as the recent U20 Four Nations Tournament a couple of weeks ago, but he has to improve his play before the end of the season for his club team or questions have to be asked. Frölunda has already a good right-shot winger depth with Rakhshani, Lasch, Fagemo and Friberg so it's not the easiest situation, but I hoped he would do better. Still a long way to go and I expect him to improve in the later stages of the season.

I agree it's frustrating that he's been limited. Frolunda is stacked and it's fair that he needs to adjust to play pro hockey. But he hasn't been ready to Frolunda's standards. A loan should be figured out if he continues to progress mightily in juniors.

With that said, playing in the J20 and Swedish Junior Tourneys doesn't scream to me as a top 5 pick. I think it's more deserving for others who are providing for their teams left and right on a pro basis. Some examples could be Lundell, Holtz or even Askarov. I would argue that some CHL guys, like Perfetti and Rossi, could surpass, ATM.

Don't get me wrong, he has a ton of potential, but with Frolunda's situation along with team trust/confidence in him, he's gonna drop. Could be a similar situation as Filip Forsberg's draft year.

Right. Like I mentioned above, I think he would need to be loaned out to Allsvenskan or the CHL to help his case. Otherwise, I think he's gonna drop in the consensus. I don't think there has been a scenario where a kid playing in J20 while getting limited time in the SHL has gone in the top 5.
