When I look at Button's list, its based mostly on projection and his preference for players. So he's looking at how transferable those skills are and whether they have room to grow or not. He also seems to rank potential impact players higher.
I don't think its a big deal. Its sometimes hard to rank players even knowing the outcome. Do you like Bobby Orr better or Mario Lemieux? Can't go wrong with either one but people are going to be outraged if you have one over the other.
