Same thing applies. He is not the 33rd best NHL prospect as far as I'm concerned. And there is quite a bit of difference in drafting him 15 and him being a potential top 10 pick, than there is of him being the 33rd best NHL prospect. We're talking about potentially going 5 spots higher, but Button has him 18 spots lower.
Anyway, the core point is that I think he's better than where Button has him, much better. If you disagree then you're perfectly entitled to, but I don't have to agree with Button.
