I don't expect many changes until the WJC finishes up.

It's nice to see Nicholas Roy finally out of the top 30.

I like seeing Zboril in the top 30, nice to see Harkins turning heads and moving up. Crouse I think is still a little high given his lack of offensive punch so far (although without Bennett at his center so...) Werenski is high. Not bad, just surprising I guess.

Surprised Greenway and Bittner are still so high. I really don't see them as anything but late first or even 2nd round types. All potential just because of their size. I wouldn't want that in the first honestly.

And where the hell is Jeremy Roy? He should easily be a top 20 player in this draft. He's going to be a stud on defense.

Also dissapointed they don't have Chlapik in the top 30.

N. Roy is tumbling down the boards, started the year as a top 15 player on a lot of peoples boards and now it's hard to see him in the top 30. I like Zboril and Harkins, but I'm not as big a fan of Crouse as many are... however, I do like what he brings to the table as a prospect. Werenski is too high in my eyes, he should be closer to 10. Bittner is also falling on my board, Greenway has stayed fairly solid in my rankings so far. Chlapik has really impressed me, and maybe I'm way too high on J. Roy but I love the kids upside and skill set. I see a potential star when I watch him play.

I actually look forward to Craig Buttons list.

I bet you Button has Hanafin lower than Werenski and has Marner a lot higher than 10. Won't surprise me to see Marner in the top 5 of Buttons list.

Listening to Button talk about these kids in interviews, he has a different view compared to ISS, but that's what makes these lists so interesting.
