I think with Pelletier (and any first year guy), it's a challenge to rank them because there is only one knot in the rope. There is a need to see some progression, a need to follow guys for a year or two to see how they are progressing before it becomes clear where they should slot into the hierarchy.
I have seen enough progression from Dube over the last two years to have a real good idea of how likely it is that he becomes a middle-six NHL forward. Pelletier, on the other hand...
It's the difference between a video and a photograph.
