1)Sam Bennett: Change from 8.0C to 8.5C -
I'm divided as to whether Bennett is really good complimentary piece: a top two line center who is just below elite (8.0), or whether he can be that single franchise/cornerstone player a team can build around (9.0). An 8.5 grade would make a little more sense.

2)Max Reinhart: Change from 7.5C to 6.5B -
Reinhart will definitely be an NHLer: But his current grade is a little high, insinuating he projects to be a top two line forward. I see him as a top 9 player: primarily a third liner, but has enough offense such that he can step into a top 6 role sparingly in case of injuries.

3)Emile Poirier: Change from 7.0C to 7.5C -
Bumping Poirier's grade to an 8.0 is tempting, but will stick to a 7.5 for now. I can easily see Poirier playing RW on the first or second line in the future.

4)Bill Arnold: Change from 7.0C to 6.5C -
It's definitely possible Arnold could be a second line centre. Similar to Reinhart's case though, I see him as more of a third liner.

5)Gillies and Ortio: Change from 7.0C to 7.5C -
I think both have potential to be #1 goaltenders, not just #1a/b starters.

6)Gaudreau: Change from 8.0C to 8.5C
Similar argument to why Bennett's grade should be upgraded.

7)Hanowski and Van Brabant: Change from 7.0C to 6.0C
Doesn't have enough offense to be a second liner.

8)Agostino: Change from 7.0C to 6.5C
Don't have enough confidence to say he could be a second liner, but there is a chance he could be one.

Jooris, Cundari, Ramage, and Billins should all be downgraded from 6.5C to 6.0C.

I agree with all of the above. They should get you to do these grades.
