Nazar Versus Reichel

[TrailerParkFlyers]

Can someone provide some feedback on how these two prospects are being ranked? I know there have been a bunch of posts on how these two will benefit from Bedard being drafted by Chicago but my question is how these two are being ranked on the dobber prospects website. An updated ranking today shows Nazar as a 9 NHL certainty with a 9 fantasy upside while Reichel is only a 6.5 NHL certainty with a 7.5 fantasy upside. How does the NHL certainty make sense? Reichel has produced well in the AHL and had a good debut in the NHL while Nazar missed almost his entire freshman year in college. Shouldn't Reichel's NHL certainty be way higher than Nazar? Upside is longer term so Nazar may turn out to be the better fantasy player long term but NHL certainty seems off given Reichel is virtually guaranteed to be an NHL player.

these are probably old ratings and they are projections 3 years out....eye test says something different...well eye test does not say anything when it comes to Nazar as he was hurt most of the year.

Reichel is already in NHL and has a chance to play a wing with most hyped prospect since probably Crosby and for sure Mcdavid. I would say atm Reichel has way more value but it can change...in fact all 3 could technically play on same line lol....i do not expect Nazar to start in Chicago, in fact he will probably opt to play another season in Michigan since he missed most of last.

I would blame it on old ratings. Reichel has both the higher top end projections and is also the more likely NHL player. I prefer Reichel over Nazar by a long ways.

The blurb on each player is new for May but I guess the numeric rankings don't get updated
