ranking the top offensive prospects for the last 10 drafts
- Thread starter CatsforReinhart

In terms of hype?
Probably something like this... (Admittedly, it gets a little gray toward the bottom. Kane, for instance, became very good, but he was hardly a consensus top pick with JVR and Turris -- both of whom he became markedly better than -- battling him for No. 1 honors all season long.)
Crosby
McDavid
Tavares
Eichel
MacKinnon
Stamkos
RNH
Hall
Seguin
Reinhart
Kane
Yakupov
If you mean where they would rank in a re-draft and would as such know how some of these guys would pan out at this level...
Crosby
McDavid
Stamkos
Eichel
Kane
Tavares
Seguin
MacKinnon
RNH
Hall
Reinhart
Yakupov
Jeez. Pre draft hype? My attempt:
Crosby
McDavid
Stamkos
Kane
Tavares
Hall
Seguin
Eichel
Yakupov
RNH
Mackinnon
Reinhart/Bennett/Jryzydal
Wait. Misread. I ranked them as based on hype and buildup and buzz in their respective draft years. Is that what you were asking?

Kane had crazy hype. People were showing up at his door step when he was 14 to convince him to join their team.

Well I guess hype meaning what was thought to be the best prospect that year then rank them as to how it would be if they were in the same year...It sounds confusing I was more interested in the way people talk about McDavid and Crosby compared to the rest of the bunch and where Reinhart would fall.

So you basically just want them all ranked based on their draft year?
I think I'd go this order, just looking at their draft eligible seasons:
Crosby
McDavid
Eichel
Kane
Tavares
MacKinnon
Stamkos
Hall
Seguin
Reinhart
Nugent-Hopkins
Yakupov

1. Crosby
2. Stamkos
3. Kane
4. Seguin
5. Taveres
Sorry I can't project McDavid, Reinhart, Eichel as none of us have seen them play against NHL defenses.
From what I have seen McDavid appears to be on the same level as Crosby, so ifg I had to guess could be #2.
Eickel appears to be more of a Stamkos player but I'd put him just behind Steven.
Reinhart woudn't make the top 5 and I'm not sure he'll be better than Taveres.
