    Bobby MacK's rankings are a consensus, based on reports from his circle of scouts.
    For example, here are his mid-season rankings, and you can see how he feels about prospects like Brady Tkachuk (ranked 4th) ...



    Some takeaway quotes that are worth mentioning, since there's been such polarizing discussion about these two specifically...

    ON FILIP ZADINA (3rd): "He's got the best shot in the draft. He's the best pure, natural goal scorer..."

    ON BRADY TKACHUK (4th): "He plays the power game but he's got silky, soft hands and can really finish with elite, offensive ability. He's an agitating force and there really isn't anything he can't do upfront..."

    This isn't the same consolidated draft rankings that JP has been blessing us with but the Chicago Sun-Times took the rankings from "ESPN's Chris Peters, TSN's Bob McKenzie, TSN's Craig Button, Sporting News' Steve Kournianos, The Hockey News' Ryan Kennedy, The Athletic's Corey Pronman and The Athletic's Scott Wheeler" (all North American writers it should be noted) and made a top 31 consensus draft ranking list.
