Bob's Top 30 Ranking

[dyzfunctioned]

I know for a fact that Grigs is top 5 on EDM's draft sheet, though I can't speak for any other teams.

PS SeaDawg I might take Grigorenko if you pass on him in the ASKL

lol...I'm not tipping my hand to you!



Or maybe I am.

No, I side with the teams picking the players, not the ISS and CS rankings. These lists aren't used on the draft floor.

So if Grigorenko gets drafted 3rd overall that will make you a believer?

And if Grigorenko gets drafted 17th overall you aren't a believer?

Basically if he is a top draft pick you will be confident he will be a great player, and vice versa.

Pretty much. But it would also depend on the draft record of the team who ultimately picks him.

I disagree with that to a degree, but can see your reasoning.

I was a believer in 2008 of a young kid named J.Eberle, who I saw play quite a bit for the Pats, and he wasn't taken until the 22nd overall pick.. I sure am reaping the benefits now on my keeper league!!

If you believe in a guy, then take him in your fantasy league!!
But who am I to say..??

Difference being he was a riser. He was ranked 29th by McKenzie. Doesn't relate to this conversation.

I'm a fan of risers and the past few drafts have shown reasons why:

2011: Zibanejad, Scheifele, Brodin
2010: Seguin, Skinner

However, there's some pretty notable fallers as well:

2011: Couturier, Murphy, Puempel
2010: Fowler, Gormley

Obviously this is only 2 drafts, and recent ones at that, so full evaluation isn't possible... but there's pros and cons to both.

In general though, I do prefer risers.
