Strome, Nylander and Bennet should be nocked down a few notches.
Nurse should be higher up.
There aren't many players on this list whom are established as Nurse is.

I guess I'm out of the loop, what has Bennett proved to be 7 spots higher in the top 10 than Draisaitl? I must have a terrible gauge of hockey talent.

Sam Bennett is the third best prospect in the world? :laugh: absolutely absurd. Two Leafs in the top 10 is obviously to pander to an Eastern audience.

Well he did have those 4 points in the playoffs last year. That apparently means he's a star. Who cares about how fact he couldn't even go a PPG in the OHL playoffs right?

I like Bennett but he is not the 3rd best prospect in hockey. What a joke.

Drais has more goals in one game then bennett has in 10 plus a much better junior career to base expectations off of and great size. So why is bennett ranked higher than him?

I'd switch Ehlers and Domi, but otherwise I agree (although I think Nurse has the potential to pass the two Sams).
