I would put Mangiapane definitely ahead of him. A couple of years younger and had a good rookie AHL season. Phillips scored 50 goals for the Victoria Royals as a 18 year old. Foo had 13 goals in the AJHL at 18.
I don't think Foo is in my top 10.

Mine either. Aside from Shink, I would rank anyone you mentioned above Foo. Maybe Shink, too, but I don't think we have seen enough of Foo's development to be sure, seems like a late bloomer to me. I do think people may be overrating Foo because they are not taking into account his age advantage compared to other prospects.
