Re: 1st overall, who you pick

I think these four players form the top tier in prospects who have yet to play in the NHL:
Dahlin
Pettersson
Svechnikov
Tolvanen
The exact order of them depends on the league. Defensemen take a bit longer to become elite options, so maybe Dahlin loses value because of that. If I can get any of those four players, I'm happy.
The next tier of players with no NHL games:
Mittelstadt
Borgstrom
Zadina
Heiskanen
These four are also elite prospects but just slightly below the top tier. Again, the exact order could change depending on the league, and again I would be very happy with any of these players.
Things get very murky after that because then you'll get a long list of prospects who are very good but not quite elite.
Hopefully this helps. (Yes, I copied this from another thread where something similar was asked.)
Hey Jouko-Pouko,
I'm curious as to why you have Svechnikov a tier above Zadina. Most of the reading I've done on them have them pretty even. Mind sharing your reasoning? Always appreciate your insight.
Thanks!
