It'll be interesting to see how it plays out because being a Homer, I'd rank Bouchard just behind Valimaki and bear, Mcleod and Benson below Andersson and kylington, even though they have a better shot at making it sooner, given the shambolic defence up there.

I'm also interested to see how Phillips does relative to Yamamoto, who was two tiers above (understandable), and sprong and mangiapane (two tiers different).

At least it keeps us chatting in the summer months.
Even Bouchard and Valimaki in the same tier would have made more sense to me ... but yeah I have a bias.

He does have a recency bias himself when it comes to prospects. Players can fall back from their draft year, but has Valimaki done that?

I'd have Andersson at least ahead of the Oilers equivalents of Bear, McLeod and Benson. Dube should be as well even with recency bias ... Mangiapane down a tier on size?

Seems pretty hit and miss. Most of the twitter world was shocked Edmonton didn't pop up sooner.
