OK, so being a good-to-great skater has obviously been important at any point in the NHL... but never moreso then now. That said, on skating ability alone (and more specifically, speed) how do you rank the top ranked 10 forwards expected to go in the first round in the draft (general/average ranking).
Example, you might have Little ranked 10th, but, like many scouts, have questions about his skating and not have him ranked on the list.
I am assuming the Kessel is #1 for most people in this category (maybe not) and some are toss-ups, and will change perhaps even by camp --but as of right now, how would you rank the top10 forwards (or more if you like) on pure skating/speed alone? And, who are the top speedsters in the top2 rounds?
