Rankings are snapshots in time. And progression isn't linear. The rankings have far less correlation with eventual success than you would think - considering that it should be relatively straight-forward to pick which guys are the most likely to make it.
But it simply isn't the case.
If you make your assessment, based on a single thing you read ("profile that virtually never translates to the NHL") then that is on you.
