I just picked this up today, it is an absolute trainwreck.
Now, I get arguing player placement is extremely subjective, for example, I wouldn't trade Marner for about 5 of the people ahead of him right now (he's 13, no chance I trade him for Quinton Byfield for example long-term, others are more debatable). But, that's a small issue, and something that can't be debated. But, there are some very glaring issues throughout. One, how the hell is Matthew Boldy ahead of Nico Hischier and PLD. I love Boldy as a prospect, but I don't think its reasonable to expect him to be a line-driving force, and more likely is an excellent complimentary 1st line winger. Secondly, they didn't have Krebs drafted in the 1st round in their mock, only to have him 74 in their top 100 21 and under. They put Svechnikov behind guys like Quinn Hughes, Byfield, Mittelstadt, Kakko, Dach, Josh Lawrence and Borgstrom.
The other crazy thing is the hype they put on kids not even in junior hockey yet, they put a 13 year old kid ahead of someone like Kotkaniemi, Hanifin and Chabot.
I get opinion has lee-way, but some of these aren't even debatable and are absurd.
