Therefore, it makes sense to list Gillies as #1, as he is billed as a future #1 goalie. Janko is more of a #3 Center in my view
"For my rankings, note also that this isn't the order I expect players to ascend to the NHL.
Do not view it as a 'who will be next?' chronological list. Instead, it is a hybrid approach that also factors in the impact/role I expect that player to have when (or if) they do make it to the NHL."

My thoughts were based on Kylington alone. I respect Haynes' thoughts a bunch but the lack of a proper analysis on Kylington left me a but confused because it goes against everything I've been reading in the farm forum and from other pundits. I get the fact people have a bias about specific players, I really had no issues with his list save maybe Poirier and Kylington. And Arnold, but he gave a reasonable explanation as to why he put Arnold where he did.
