Dermott imo.

 

[showtime8]

Went with Dermott based on where I think he could turn out to be.

 

[Cor]

Andreas Johnson.

Kid is only 20 and is in the top 5 of the SHL scoring race and climbing.

 

[KGL]

This one is really wide open. There's a lot of guys who could reasonably go here, Dermott, Timashov, Johnson, Bracco, Leipsic, and others. I went with Dermott though.

 

[Alexanderthe89]

They might not have quite the upside as some remaining but I'd put much better odds behind Leivo and Leipsic having a longer NHL career than anyone else. I'm voting Leispic here - his game should translate to the NHL very well.

 

[Warden of the North]

Puzzles the Goat

 

[Wafflewhipper]

Timashov for me. High end skill player. Future set up machine with the triggermen we have coming. Very important prospect to develop right also. He is right up there with Marner and Nylander skill wise.

 

[Judas Tavares]

This is where it gets interesting. I voted Johnson, I tend to vote guys higher if they've played pro hockey unless they have sky high potential like Marner. Timashov and Dermott were the tempting picks here but for me Johnson has been impressive further through development.

 

[Advanced stats]

3 way race here with Johnson,Dermott and Timo
Went timo based on sheer high end potential

 

[Cor]

Johnson
Timashov
Dermott
Bracco
Leipsic
Gauthier
Nielsen

That's how the next 7 should go IMO

 

[TheCLAM]

I almost went with Timashov, but opted with Johnson due to his SHL experience.

I find these rankings very arbitrary due to ranking players based on unknown factors. Is it purely based on skill or their ability to translate to the NHL level?

Thats how i viewed taking Timo also

 

[Wafflewhipper]

Johnson
Timashov
Dermott
Bracco
Leipsic
Gauthier
Nielsen

That's how the next 7 should go IMO

I think you rate Gauthier to high and Nielsen to low

 

[TorontoTrades]

tough one but I went Timashov considering how impressive he was at camp before his 19th birthday.

first round that has been challenging IMO

 

[mikebel111*]

Dermott

 

[Leaf Lander]

Johnson for me

Hopefully he is in the Ahl next yr

 

[LeafsNation149]

Johnson is pretty underrated around here.

 

[KGL]

Edit: nevermind

 

[Banic]

Though it's wide open I went with Leivo. Good year this year, already receiving NHL time so it's pretty clear he's close if not ready. I see middle 6 potential from him.

 

[leafers]

Johnson is pretty underrated around here.

Very underrated. What he is doing in SHL is more impressive than what any other junior prospect is doing in their respective leagues.

 

[Muston Atthews]

Andreas Johnson

 

[BertCorbeau]

Yeah I went with AJ ... He's gotten some stellar post draft numbers for the SHL

IMO he's on par with Brown and Kapanen at the moment.

 

[Lebanese Leaf]

Johnson
Timashov
Dermott
Bracco
Leipsic
Gauthier
Nielsen

That's how the next 7 should go IMO

There is no way that Sparks isn't in the top 10 after the year he's had.

 

[Canada4Gold]

Johnson, the way he's tearing up the SHL is impressive.

Dermott and Timashov were close though, they'll be the next 2.
