Interesting to take a look at. I think I agree for the most part with a few guys moved around.
ROUND ONE
Gaudreau vs Draisaitl vs Horvat
1st Place: Horvat (VAN)
2nd Place: Gaudreau (CGY)
3rd Place: Draisaitl (EDM)
I would have Bennett here and it would be an easy win for him but with the choices you have I go with Horvat who may never be a top line center but seems like a good bet to be a solid 2nd line center for the Canucks.
ROUND TWO
Bennett vs Nurse vs Virtanen
1st Place: Bennett (CGY)
2nd Place: Nurse (EDM)
3rd Place: Virtanen (VAN)
Virtanen a very distant 3rd here and Bennett a clear step or 3 ahead of these two guys. If we switched Gaudreau and Bennett like I would I would have had it Nurse, Gaudreau and Virtanen again a very distant 3rd.
ROUND THREE
Baertschi vs Marincin vs Shinkaruk
1st Place: Baertschi (CGY)
2nd Place: Shinkaruk (VAN)
3rd Place: Marincin (EDM)
Baertschi easily wins this. I know many hate Shinkaruk because of some sort of need to justify the Flames skipping him but he has a ton of offensive talent but is still a ways from showing it can put it all together at the NHL level. Marincin was horrible in his time in the NHL and looked even worse when playing international last year. Hopefully he spends a lot of time being a pylon for the Oilers in the next couple of years.
ROUND FOUR
Poirier vs Klefbom vs Jensen
1st Place: Poirier (CGY)
2nd Place: Jensen (VAN)
3rd Place: Klefbom (EDM)
Jensen gets 2nd by default because while he hasn't shown much he hasn't shown he sucks like Klefblom has.
ROUND FIVE
Granlund vs Yakimov vs Gaunce
T-1st Place: Gaunce (VAN)
T-1st Place: Granlund (CGY)
100th Place: Yakimov (EDM)
Gaunce and Granlund look to both be future AHL/Euro scoring leaders so had them tied with Gaunce getting a slight advantage of being listed 1st as he has more of a chance to make NHL for more than a cup of coffee. Yakimov a distant 100th as he looks like a pile of nothing.
for the others just rankings:
ROUND SIX
1st Place: McCann (VAN)
2nd Place: Klimchuk (CGY)
3rd Place: Khaira (EDM)
ROUND SEVEN
1st Place: Max Reinhart (CGY)
2nd Place: Corrado (VAN)
3rd Place: Simpson (EDM)
ROUND EIGHT
1st Place: Wotherspoon (CGY)
2nd Place: Vey (VAN)
3rd Place: Chase (EDM)
ROUND NINE
1st Place: Ortio (CGY)
2nd Place: Moroz (EDM)
3rd Place: Demko (VAN)
ROUND TEN
A whole lot meh this round so they can rank however they want
Who cares: Arnold (CGY)
Who cares: Hutton (VAN)
Who cares: Ewanyk (EDM)
