But for the sake of context and to further emphasize Enoch Root's point about drawing comparisons between college players, it is worth pointing out that in the last five years the ECAC where Adam Fox plays has boasted such luminaries as Matthew Peca, Jimmy Vesey, Spencer Foo, Alexander Kerfoot, and Michael Vecchione. There are some good players there, for sure, but no one even remotely comparable to Gaudreau.
Can we dispense with this nonsense, please?

Why don't you rage back at Bingo?
I was asking simple clear questions on the value of the statistical analysis of a rating prospects.
I would have more confidence in the Manny Elks process if it was statistically upgrade Gaudreau as a prospect in D+1 and keep Jankowski relatively high as a prospect after his D+1. Does his process have a track record? Could the statistical analysis be executed on previous years prospects?
as for your rambling somewhat obtuse argument on the undervaluing of the ECAC:
There are a very limited of players of Fox performance level representing all American (NCAA or CHL) as Fox has put up at international competitions. He was top-3 USA player in the U20 in D+2 same as Gaudreau. He was top-3 on team team with Mittelstadt , Bellows and Brady Tkachuk who he beat out as a top-3 player on team USA. Fox already had a gold medal in year D+1.
You missed his teammate Donato who jumped from the weak sister ECAC to the Bruins roster and put up 9 pts in his first 12 NHL games and is #14 in the Athletics prospect rating.
