Ya no sh*t eh. I immediately edited it and posted the top 25 instead of the good ole copy and paste. Sorry about that hahaOriginally Posted by metaldude26
Jenner and Namestnikov ahead of Strome? Interesting.
Jenner's fine if you want to give them the benefit of the doubt with size and two-way play but Namestnikov is just wrong.
This is what irritates me most about some of these scouting services and blogs. They are very resistant to change. Once they get one idea in their head they stick with it but we are talking about kids when they are 17-18 years old. Things change in a big hurry. I'd rather you didn't release a list at all than released the same list over and over again.
I agree about the rankings overall. This is just one person's opinion. My list would be totally different. I find that some writers often overrate certain favourite teams (aka Windsor/London/Kitchener) and fail to factor in that they are playing with elite talents. There are some teams and players that don't get the credit that they should (Rakell in Plymouth has been VERY impressive everytime I have watched him).
I am pleased that Brandon Saad gets credit on this list (although he probably shouldn't be ahead of Strome).
My Top 12 (couldn't settle on 10)
1. Gabriel Landeskog
2. Ryan Murphy
3. Dougie Hamilton (he's close to surpassing Murphy IMO)
4. Ryan Strome
5. Brandon Saad
6. Nicklas Jensen
7. Vladislav Namestnikov
8. Alex Khokhlachev
9. Rickard Rikall
10. Shane Prince
11. Mark Scheifele
12. Boone Jenner
some shockers to me in that list...not the inclusions, but the order. My top 10 would be:
1. Gabriel Landeskog (Kitchener Rangers)
2. Ryan Strome (Niagara IceDogs)
3. Ryan Murphy (D - Kitchener Rangers)
4. Dougie Hamilton (D - Niagara IceDogs)
5. Alex Khokhlachev (Windsor Spitfires)
6. Brandon Saad (Saginaw Spirit)
7. Lucas Lessio (Oshawa Generals)
8. Matt Puempel (Peterborough Petes)
9. Shane Prince (Ottawa 67s)
10. Nicklas Jensen (Oshawa Generals)
