any plans to do a top prospects ranking? curious where you guys see goncalves,
and what it all looks like. big fan of goncalves, can't teach a big brain.
I don't know if I could do an accurate ranking because you're judging the majority of the players on what they did 8 or more months ago and not what they've done now. A lot of these guys still haven't played a game in their respective leagues since, and who knows what the future holds for the rest of the 2020-21 season.
Goncalves especially is a hard player to rank. Just from his scouting reports and predraft rankings, there doesn't seem to be any consensus on him. As you know, he was passed over in his bantam draft year, and then went undrafted a year ago and really was a nobody before his breakout season. So who is the real Goncalves? Being able to play in the World Junior summer Showcase, having an actual season in the WHL, playing in the Canada-Russia series, etc, all that stuff would have all been super helpful on informing us. That said,
@HoseEmDown has a pretty good list though in the post above mine. Is he a top 10 prospect for us? Hard to say, but if he were playing, we'd probably be able to figure that out.
