    Default ISS Draft rankings for December

    Jesperi Kotkaniemi finally cracks the top-31 here as well and jumps straight to #24. Besides Kotkaniemi, the biggest risers seem to be Barrett Hayton (from #25 to #16) and Noah Dobson (from #31 to 19). Adam Boqvist is still surprisingly low at #8 considering most others have him in their top-5.

    Filip Johansson and Jonathan Tychonick drop out of top-31 after being there in November ranking.

    Bottom 5 teams right now:

    1. Buffalo
    2. Arizona
    3. Florida
    4. Edmonton
    5. Ottawa

    Can't see any of them passing on Dahlin for Svech.

    Also wtf is Edmonton and Ottawa doing at the bottom 5, many were calling these teams cup contenders.

    It seems like ISS is completely confused about player positions. Svechnikov definitely doesn't play center.

    Very shocking that people start drawing drastic conclusions based on just six WJC games...

    What people often forget is that Zadina and Tkachuk are a year older than Svechnikov, and that extra development time is huge for such young players. I'm not saying it's wrong to rank either one over Svechnikov as they're all very close but it's important to remember that difference when only looking at the WJC and what they can do this year. A better comparison would be to look at their previous years and compare it to Svechnikov's current year. A year ago, Zadina and Tkachuk didn't even play at the WJC as 17-year-olds but Svechnikov did play now as a 17-year-old. Most likely, all three are playing in the NHL next season, so personally I'd rather have the younger guy. But I'm not sure if that still means I'd have Svechnikov second overall as Adam Boqvist has a good case to be ranked there as well. He needs more time before he's playing in the NHL but his upside is huge.

    All that being said, I do expect most rankings to be like this after the WJC:
    Dahlin
    Zadina
    Tkachuk
    Svechnikov
    Boqvist/Hughes

    That's just what always happens at the WJC. And then things start to even out closer to the summer when the WJC is not fresh on everyone's mind anymore.

    As a Halifax Moosehead supporter and fan, it's always fun at WJC time because their kids seem to get a nice boost from this tourney in recent years.

    Zadina this year. Meier in 2015. Ehlers in 2014. MacKinnon and Drouin in 2013.
    10 Team, Points Only, Cash League

    25 Man Roster (no position), top 20 point getters count at end of month
    Keep 20/25 at seasons end, Cut 5 to FA for redrafting
    Goalie points W=2pt L=-1pt SHO=2pt

    Stamkos, Tavares, Eichel, Mercer, JRobertson, RThomas, Kucherov, Nugent-Hopkins, Tuch, KConnor, Necas, Point, Konecny, SJarvis, Cozenz, Morrissey, Bouchard, Josi, Novak, Tolvanen, Peterka, Brink

    G- Vasilevskiy, Sorokin, Oettinger

    Why you said ''Very shocking that people start drawing drastic conclusions based on just six WJC games... '' because we have the same top 4 after WJC.
    Dahlin
    Zadina
    Tkachuk
    Svechnikov

    I agree here with Svechnikov dropping after the tournament... as mentioned so much stock is put in this one tournament.

    Dahlin
    Zadina
    Tkachuk
    Svechnikov
    That was not my ranking, that was how I expect most rankings to be after the WJC because of how much stock people put on the short tournament.

    The experts are wrong in that case.
