In almost any thread about prospects you'll have an array of posts with absolute opinions on players purely based on their perceived skill set, what media outlets say, and where they were drafted. Which are fine for forming guesses, but there are no absolutes. You may not speak in absolutes, but many here do.

There is a chance that players peak past their projected ceiling, but on the flipside, most prospects will never live up to their projected "ceiling" at all. The ceiling tends to be optimistic if anything.
I suspect most of the people that voted for Gaudreau in the first round were going exclusively on projected ceiling as there are still some serious question marks about how he will fit into the NHL.
