I may be wrong but what has Campbell done to be ranked so high? I mean his performance this year at the WJC wasn't as glamorous as the year before and from all accounts he's struggling in the O isn't he?

Where's Kadri? I guess putting up a ppg in the AHL isn't enough for a Top Ten ranking. I also disagree with Tarasenko and Kuznetsov being Top Five. I think they fit better in the ten-twenty range. Overall I don't think the Top Ten is a good list at all. I'm loving Schenn and Johansen at one and two though.

Kadri sits at 13.

Now I have to ask, would you be able to let me know where Jared Cowen, David Rundblad, and Robin Lehner all rank? :D

Rundblad at 22:amazed: I'm not a Sens fan but by all means this guy should be at least top 10, probably top 5. He has been tearing apart the SEL this year and from what Swedish posters have been saying, he has been on a whole other level. Might be the best player let alone defenceman in the SEL right now.

Love seeing Kuznetsov at third! He deserves it his KHL was one of the best ever by a junior player.

On another note Detroit may be the king of the late round picks but is there another team as good at late first round picks?

2005: 27: Schultz 29: Green
2006: 23: Varlamov
2008: 27: Carlson
2009: 24: Johansson
2010: 26: Kuznetsov

Semin at 13 in a weak draft year aint bad either
