Petan does have a size disadvantage to overcome... If he was 5-11 and 180 he would be in the top 10 prospects overall based on his accomplishments. 28 points in 17 playoff game... we would have all been happy had Bennett done that in his OHL playoffs.
Petan sees the whole ice and is almost always getting the puck to the open man in the best position.
Your comparison to Bjorkstrand is a bit off as Bjorkstand is ranked #40 best prospect. Petan (ranked #72) is not as good a prospect as Sam Bennett or Sam Reinhart either.
How in the world do you think that Jankowski as the #3 C on his NCAA team as a 20 year old could ever be considered a top 100 prospect?
Granlund is definitely better than at least half of these guys on the list.... a good reason that he is not considered a prospect anymore.
The Flame that has really been slighted here is Ferland... He is still Calder eligible and would be at least as good of a power forward prospect as Ritchie or Virtanen.
I would like to see their rationalization on how Armia and Lemieux made this list.
