real scouts (employed by NHL teams) don't give their lists to TSN or anyone else...I just think too much is made of these rankings. Someone picks a player not ranked highly by TSN and its "wow, what were they thinking! so and so was available" when really it takes years to see if it was smart or not.
People are already saying things like "oh can you imagine if they draft this guy instead of that guy" when chances are they have never seen either of them live
