Bobrovsky
Panarin? (It's a stretch)
Seth Jones??? If Jones is tier 1, why isn't Dougie?

IIRC from when this was originally posted a few months back the author set some parameters, which he openly admitted were arbitrary but his best attempt at creating some sort of definition for each tier. He was quite clear that they wouldn't be perfect.
He then used those established guidelines to create the chart. It wasn't like he just picked his favorites randomly from each team.

Here's the original thread:

Now it’s time to see who fits where. Rather than using last year’s numbers, I used projected Game Score for 2017-18 to show what kind of top-end talent teams have going into next season. It’s what we’ve been using for playoff odds and last week’s off-season changes post, so this also works as a check and balance to see if the numbers themselves mostly make sense. While it won’t create a perfect list (no metric or human can), it should make for a reasonable estimate of the league landscape even if there are some disagreements about specific placements (even I don’t 100 percent agree with where some players land, so please don’t yell at me, thanks). It’s also important to remember this is just a projection and players can certainly play better or worse than their tier suggests. Without further adieu, here’s where each of the league’s stars ranks.
