No sergaychev (spelling?) either, interesting.

The one thing with Pronman is that he tends to completely ignore size and grit, and will put an emphasis on more skill.
Which is why smaller guys with high skill (Keller, Fabbro, Debrincat) will tend to be ranked higher on his list compared to others.
For example his 2014 top 10 were:
1 Aaron Ekblad D Barrie OHL
2 Sam Bennett C Kingston OHL
3 William Nylander RW Modo SHL
4 Sam Reinhart C Kootenay WHL
5 Nikolaj Ehlers LW Halifax QMJHL
6 Kevin Fiala LW HV71 SHL
7 Leon Draisaitl C Prince Albert WHL
8 Michael Dal Colle LW Oshawa OHL
9 Kasperi Kapanen RW KalPa Liiga
10 Haydn Fleury D Red Deer WHL
So had guys like Nylander, Ehlers, and Fiala higher on his list than some others. In retrospect he was probably right to have those guys ranked higher than others.
