Well its really hard to make sense of your rationale since it seems to be inconsistently applied. Tkachuk has high end skill, intelligence and work ethic and you are down on him for no obvious reason. He was top 5 on 9 out of 10 scout's lists that Bob Mackenzie talked to. Consensus top 5 pick and you have him at 11. And you choose to compare him to Benoit Pouliot? Strange and very questionable all around. Seems very irrational to me.
Keller is super high on your list despite his size limitations that may limit his effectiveness in the NHL. I know the list makes sense if your own head but I can't make much sense of what you value. The way you go on about Datsyuk, Johnson, Palat and Kucherov all the time has to make me think you overrate small skilled players.
It seems that you ignore that size is a beneficial attribute and that lack of size is a detriment that has to be overcome. You try to ignore it completely it seems or to underrate its importance. Philosophically we'll never agree on the ideal makeup of a team or where prospects should rank in a draft.
