Hell, sometimes some of us just get a “feeling” about a certain prospect (Pettersen for me), that throws their own ranking out of alignment.
It sure is fun seeing how everyone works through this process. I always find myself learning a tonne every year.

Yes I get a good feeling about Pettersen too. Comments after his first dev camp from the other players (I think Phillips said he was special) sealed it for me. I’m pretty sure he won a dev camp award last year.
I think he has an uncommon (even for drafted players) passion - since he was a Youtube phenom - that has and will serve him well.
He seems to me to be an on the puck type guy who gets in there despite his size. I felt similar to Gaudreau in his development (passion, on the puck).
