NHL Draft Software: Final Rankings (Updated!)

[ProspectsFanatic]

As I stated in my previous rankings you could expect some final tweaks, I continued scouting prospects last few weeks and put my hands on some draft guides for second opinion. Updated my rankings with improved evaluation of players.

I will follow this list on draft minus Shafigullin that you could maybe rank ~45 instead because I don't expect him to be drafted that early in the draft, would depends how things shake up. Maybe for Wassenius too.

I was very impressed with the results of previous drafts in hindsight.
