Making the job harder for scouts is the unique skill sets some of the top prospects bring. Samuel Bennett, Sam Reinhart and Leon Draisaitl all are centers, but each brings something different to the table.
You've got three really good centers, but they're all different style centers," Button said. "So I think you're trying to sort out the styles as much as anything to figure out how to close that gap. If you had three like-minded or three with similar playing styles then it's a little easier, you just do it. But they're different style players so it's a little more to sort out. It's exciting. It's not easy and it's not supposed to be easy. But it's fun to do. It's a fun process to go through."

Button also says neither Burke or Treliving has directed him to rank players any differently or based on size or truclence.
