Two things pop out to me at first glance:
1. Khovanov so low.
2. Bouchard 25 spots ahead of Dobson, who I think not only is better now but has much more potential, and could be a first round pick.

 

[Wooren]

Just some thoughts on the CZE/SVK players.

Lately I have seen Zadina ranked 3rd numerous times, not sure if it's justified just yet. I can absolutely see him explode in the QMJHL, but until then I see him more of a 6-10 player.
Jakub Lauko should without a doubt be higher than that. Not even top 50 . I would have him top 25.
Lukas Dostal, Zack Malik, Milos Roman and Martin Fehervary are not in your top 100 and I have a very hard time believing some of the players in there are better than them.

 

[kp61c]

zhabreev over zavgorodniy? I would love to hear the reasoning behind this choice

 

[Lays]

I don't see why Wise at 9 can be justified, I know he has the hype but he fell off from being an Eichel/Matthews tier prospect (which he definitely once was)
Boqvist should be higher
I also would have Kurashev and Zavgordoniy much higher
Levin is also too high

 

[Tryamkin]

As you can tell, I haven't focused as much on the European specs. NA based because the games are much easier for me to see.

 

[Weylspin]

Solid list man, interested to see where your list differs when we start approaching the draft

 

[Patmac40]

Personally think that Rodrigue should be in the top 100 but nice preliminary list.

 

[VoluntaryDom]

zadina should not be #3

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

zadina should not be #3

Who should be 3 and where does Zadina go?

I'd like to see Boqvist and Zavgorodniy higher

 

[Tryamkin]

zadina should not be #3

Maybe not now. He will be very soon.

 

[Tryamkin]

zhabreev over zavgorodniy? I would love to hear the reasoning behind this choice

The reason is..........

Limited Viewings

 

[Tryamkin]

Personally think that Rodrigue should be in the top 100 but nice preliminary list.

For sure, this list is very raw because for most I've only had one viewing.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Boqvist, Khovanov, Olofsson, Gross, Woo too low. Zadina, Hughes, Tkachuk too high.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I don't see why Wise at 9 can be justified, I know he has the hype but he fell off from being an Eichel/Matthews tier prospect (which he definitely once was)

Why not? He was the best all-around forward for the 17-NTDP team last year. He has all the skills in his game, besides size.

Right, I'm looking a bit ahead with him but I think he'l be joining Svech and Dahlin by the end of the year.

Lauko was just limited viewings, he'll 100% go up as I watch more.

I forgot about Dostal and Roman, they'll be included next time for sure. Malik and Fehervary I haven't seen.

 

[Tryamkin]

It's pretty easy to pick apart a giant Top 100 list at the beginning of the season. Most fans from home countries have seen their players lots and believe they should be higher which I don't disagree with. As I did say this is my opinion off of my viewings and I only wanted to do one this early to show progression month to month. Players will come and go, higher and lower as I watch more.

 

[Roy Baby*]

I thought it was the former NHL player Tryamkin and actually slightly cared. Meh

 

[Sticks and Pucks]

47. Ryan O'Reilly

I'm interested to see if we can actually have two RORs playing in the NHL at the same time!

Ouch!

Me too! I hope so

 

[tony d]

At this point Zadina seems to be to high at #3.

 

[Zaddy]

Simon Kjellberg is a late round pick at best I think.

Fagemo should not be above Hållander, Olofsson and Ginning in my mind. I would have Berggren and Gustafsson over him too atm. Oscar Bäck is probably mid-late round pick but I could easily see him go undrafted too. Heavy feet and questionable offensive upside.

 

[Bonin21]

Think you're going to want Gavin Hain on there

 

[bigdog16]

Why not? He was the best all-around forward for the 17-NTDP team last year. He has all the skills in his game, besides size.

Right now hes not top 10
