On a side note, I wouldn't have Miller in Tier 1, while Thompson and Thomas are in Tier 2. There are other examples as well, which is why I am curious as to what the criteria is.

I just used the average point production pace over the last 3 seasons averaged out for simplicity's sake. It definitely is only a snapshot of the season, and I mentioned the likes of Malkin, Stamkos, Kopitar and even Tavares being rated too low now compared to where they in their prime. I could look at other seaons as well, but I was more interested in the various types of top 6 centers this year, and which picks were used to draft them.
If you'd like you could use the reference list I attached all the way at the bottom and re-order it, or I can send you a link to the spreadsheet instead via PM.
