There are always risers and fallers. Some players in those top 8 would have a poor season, or simply not take that big step forward, or have others below them take bigger steps.
This draft is really going to be difficult to predict. That's why I am not going to fall in love with any of the prospects (I mean, I usually don't anyway).

Very true. I know I keep harping about these players, but there’s some quality OHL talent in this draft (Stillman and Pinelli) that could really surprise on draft day. Those two are top-15 talents, at the very least. And of course, there’s more around the world that would rise or fall if it was a full schedule. As in-depth as scouting is these days, it’s hard to predict what a prspect will be based on what you saw in their D minus 1 year.
