Seabrook hasn't been very good in his own zone (like they said) probably because of his size. The games I've been to a few games he hasn't really been able to handle the bigger forwards like our other d-men.
MacMillan hasn't shown any promise in his 14 games with the Heat. Maybe he just needs time at the AHL level, but I'm not so sure he's that great of a prospect.

I considered talking about Ortio, but the truth is I've almost never seen him play besides maybe on international game and his stats are terrible this year (although I understand it's because he's played on a really bad team).
As for the rankings, they were done earlier in the summer. No doubt they'll be re-calibrated as the season goes along. I agree with your assessments BTW.
