Well no one should take my views as an in depth analysis either, but I've seen him play here and there. As far as rankings go, I defer completely to the expert lists. I have no idea how anyone compares to anyone else.
Barkov has amazing potential, I don't remember anyone as impressive as him at his age, but still there's no guarantee that he's a point-per-game forward in the NHL in his prime and I don't know what the odds are for that to happen. Could just be a second line guy. Below that, and you'd have to consider his development quite disappointing. It must be easier to project guys like Drouin and McKinnon.
