No Eklblad still might be #1, (or #5 after Seth Jones) but this crop of top picks would have been going somewhere around 7-12.
Redline does an unbiased evaluation:
Bennett's report card has the following:
Size/Strength: B-
Skating: A-
Shot/Scoring Ability: B+
Puck handling: A
Hockey sense: A
Competitiveness: A
Physical play: A-
Composure/poise: A-
Defence: B
Monahan Report Card
Size/Strength A
Skating B+
Shot/Scoring ability B+
Puckhandling A
Hockey Sense A+
Competitiveness A
Physical play B
Composure/Poise A
Defence B
so Monahan is 4 grades higher on size/strength
1 grade lower on skating
1 grade higher on Hockey sense
2 grades lower on physical play
and 1 grade higher on composure and poise.
Redline had Bennett at #1
Ritchie Report Card
Size/Strength A+
Skating B
Shot/Scoring ability B+
Puckhandling B
Hockey Sense B+
Competitiveness A
Physical play A
Composure/Poise B
Defence C+
Redline had Bennett at #1
