I did a bit of an average over the year based on the respective rankings of THN, RLR, ISS, McKeens and CSB (didn't include TSN's latest). Each was given an equal ranking to create an average and as for CSB, Euro rankings were multipled by 5 starting with the 2nd ranking player to respect the fact that around 6 Euro skaters will be taken per round (can be higher or lower). So specifically, for CSB Euro, Cherapanov got a 1, Backlund a 5 and Eller a 10 (a little high for each perhaps, but balances out over time). Similar multiples were applied to goalies.
The following are the rankings and average rank, the latter of which shows some specific tiers.
1 1.2 Patrick Kane

3 3.2 James Van Riemsdyk
4 4.2 Jakub Voracek

10 11.4 Zach Hamill
11 11.8 Keaton Ellerby Another tier.
12 15.6 Ryan McDonagh

The average doesn't indicate the variance of course. For instance, two similarly rated players like McDonagh and Petrecki are quite different in that McDonagh's rating ranges between #8 and #30, where as Petrecki is pretty consistent and ranges only between #14 to #21.
