He's also 3 years older. How do you think Norris would have looked in the NHL 3 years ago?Norris was a rookie too, and he looked waaaay more complete.

I voted Pinto 7 points and a +6 in 12 games. Him picking off passes looked like a faster Mark Stone
I don’t think I have seen a sens rookie ever look like that solid of a player in his first few games
Based on the criteria set by the thread creator, it was an easy Stutzle for me. Now whether or not he reaches his potential is a whole other story but if I am G.M, then Timmy is my most prized prospect.
I will cheat a bit here and give my top 5 in order of value/importance to the team:
1. Stutzle
2. Chabot
3. Tkachuk
4. Sanderson
5. Norris
Does anyone think how the players are listed influence how people vote, maybe the best players should be in the middle as opposed to the top of the list?

What do you mean by "criteria"? You mean the projection side of things? Yeah because "who's better now" would be a bit useless.
If there was no projection, Jake Sanderson wouldn't be in the options but Victor Mete would be voted high
We have to be able to project to have some kind of idea of what the future team will look like. Look at the 2019 rankings for example. Of course, we're amateurs and we're not going to always be right. But even pros are not always right
I'm expecting the top-5 to be like the list you just made, or very close
The guys at the top are the most obvious choices, then it's a bit more random. I mean, I think people are able to make their own choice, unless maybe they don't know much about the team? At this moment, 54% of voters haven't voted for the top choice...
Damn, it'd be very surprising if Pinto becomes our best player. You'd have to be pretty high on him if you think he'll be better than all of Chabot, Stutzle, Sanderson, Tkachuk, Norris and Batherson.
It’s fairly even between most these guys as far as I can tell. Pinto won’t be 21 until November so he is basically 1 year older than Jimmy Stu.
Jimmy looks the part but I can’t tell if he will be star or a super flashy decent player
Well, I didn't expect that. Out of 68 voters so far, you're the only one who voted for Pinto and probably the only one who'd have him in the same "tier" as the "big 4"
I mean it's your projection and you can absolutely have it. If he's among the best, we're in pretty good shape and it means we have a legit 1st line center, basically a Patrice Bergeron 2.0
For the record, I think Stutzle's work ethic and competitiveness is a point in his favour, but there is still a lingering doubt.
He's 25 .Does Zub still qualify?
There is no doubt that Chabot wins work ethic trophy. Future best player may be Stutzle's though.
I voted Chabot.

Some high scoring forwards never become complete players & coaches manage their ice time to assure they don't hurt the team defensively. We see it all the time, Dadonov IMO is a skilled player who I think is a liability defensively but there are also defensive players who are liabilities or much less effective in the offensive zone. A complete player is great in all zones like Mark Stone, Bergeron, Crosby, ROR & others who rarely take a shift off, these are my preferred kind of players.

nope
Certainly, it's a proven phenomenon.Does anyone think how the players are listed influence how people vote, maybe the best players should be in the middle as opposed to the top of the list?

Do you consider Brady a complete player?
