Larkin over Draisaitl? :/

I agree with Bennett over Drai, but honestly I like them both better than Reinhart

Pretty bad rankings. Larkin at 5? I know these rankings fawn over WJC but seriously? When is Draisatl going to stop being underrated?

I wouldnt call him underrated, but Larkin is weird one.

HF list garbage as usual. Overrating goalies and Dylan Larkin.

 

[Musashi]

As if anyone here has seen enough of Larkin to properly assess him

HF had a ranking of the top WHL players like 2 weeks ago and Draisaitl was #1 over Reinhart.

Now Reinhart is the #1 prospect and Draisaitl is #9?


HF Rankings are what they are. I wouldn't bother getting too invested in it.

I would definitely say he is underrated on HF, especially since we won McDavid

He won't stop being underrated till he is playing in the NHL and is looking amazing. The scouting community and people who watch the WHL a ton, tend to give him a lot more respect. I've really been impressed with Larkin, so I don't mind him being really high, over Draisaitl along with the goalies is highly dubious.

It always puzzled me why HF always loves having goalies right near the top of its list so often, when you look at their lists years after the fact they rarely live upto the billing against some of the top young stars they are slotted above.

yep---I stopped reading HF rankings years ago

Sam Reinhart #1? Seriously? Larkin over Drai?

This list is awful.

 

[Aerchon]

Maybe I am out of touch with prospects this year but that list seems terrible.

I barely recognize half the names and those I do are all over the place.

New guy making the rankings? I don't remember any of the other lists being this bad.

Do you think Dylan Larkin is a top 5 prospect in all of hockey?
