Nice work, i feel theres not too many ‘against the grain’ picks. I have some questions ;
1) although very close, why boldy ahead of newhook ?
2) denisenko, what have you seen in his play last season?
3) my only straight up critics, i feel mukhamadullin has good potential but is not near the level other prospect around him are, he stands out to me. Thanks !

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

Disagree pretty heavily with these but to each their own

 

[M2Beezy]

Not sure why you put Colangelo below Addison, for me thats an obvious swap

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Pretty good list tbh. I know a lot of people will probably think their teams prospects are too low but I think it’s overall a good list.

 

[stevo61]

Pretty good list tbh. I know a lot of people will probably think their teams prospects are too low but I think it’s overall a good list.

Even for my own teams list I fail to see why Marchenko gets consistantly underrated

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

7 in the top 100. Can't really complain.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Lafreniere and the rest

 

[zcaptain]

So, this is a sincere question
How do you rank Hoglander at 52, when he would have won the scoring title at the World Juniors last year
if not for a foolish penalty?
Hoglander is just 10 days too old for this year Tournament
IMO....he is better than Quinn at 25...just saying
No offense meant...just a question....maybe I am wrong?

 

[Parliament]

You're never going to please everyone, so good on ya' for setting your own ranking.

One thing I don't quite agree with is productive AHL rookies (ex. Tippett @ #51, Norris @ #65, etc.) being so low. At the end of the day maybe I just put more value in AHL production over other leagues (ex. AHL > NCAA > CHL) but I'm curious to hear your thought process.

 

[KapG]

Tippet should be higher imo

 

[hamzarocks]

For the leafs Robertson above Amirov

 

[nickdawg95]

For the leafs Robertson above Amirov

Robertson is so overrated. pump the breaks

 

[hamzarocks]

Robertson is so overrated. pump the breaks

Well see in the future. Really like his play style and skills. His shot is filthy and I see him scoring goals consistently at the NHL level.

 

[Maplebeasts]

Robertson is so overrated. pump the breaks

A guy that was nearly 2ppg in his 18 year old season scoring at an 81 goal pace is not over rated.

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Robertson is so overrated. pump the breaks

How much has nickdawg95 the Sabres fan watched of Robertson?

 

[Hen Kolland]

These always intrigue me because of players like Veleno. Obviously he’s not listed here, but there are multiple players that I think are similar in nature. And a couple of players within the Wings organization that I think would rank below him if you asked the fan base how they feel.

All of this become so subjective, I feel like definitive rankings of this person above that person becomes a tit for tat debate. I think we’d all be better served if we tiered out players and debate the classification of players rather than “should Moritz Seider, a defenseman with 3 years of professional hockey, be ranked higher than Quinton Byfield, one of the youngest, raw prospects within an NHL organization?”

 

[QJL]

I like the list.

3 too high: Jack Quinn, Shakhir Mukhamadullin, Cam York
3 too low: Nils Lundkvist, Seth Jarvis, Shane Pinto

 

[GOALOFSSON]

IMO....he is better than Quinn at 25...just saying

too high: Jack Quinn,

Debatable

He's got Veleno at 62. Which in my opinion, is a pretty good spot for him.

My mistake. That’s exactly where I would look for him, don’t know how I missed it.

 

[thestonedkoala]

Khovanov is way too high.

 

[themelkman]

Think I say this every year but no Merkley leads me to just disregard the list.

 

[Benttheknee]

Sens fan : Alex Formenton not in, Roby Jarventie is. I suspect you just forgot him.

 

[Isaac Nootin]

Don't want to criticize too much as it takes work to do a Top 100. So a few thoughts.

Too High - Quinn, Amirov, Askarov, Lapierre, Beecher

Too Low - Drysdale, Robertson, Villardi, Valimaki, Romanov, Tippett, Norris, York
