In the interest of transparency, I'm not an actual scout. We have a scouting director and scouting staff that produce the rankings and scouting reports.
Now having said that, our scouts simply view that Nurse's upside is greater than that of Monahan's in the same way that we have Jones over MacKinnon. Having Nurse over Monahan isn't something new for us as he's been there since March.
We've had Nurse as high as fifth and view him as the second-best defenseman in the draft behind Jones. It's not a slight on Monahan by any stretch and 6-7-8 (Lindholm-Nurse-Monahan) are virtually interchangable.
