I might actually pee my pants if Treliving drafts Chychrun in the second round.

Based on McKenzie's rankings Flames really have a few options at RW with their 2nds:

Laberge
Debrincat
Kyrou
Bastian
Grundstrom
Raddysh
Bitten
Pu
Abramov
Allison
Anderson

all projected to go 2nd round by McKenzie

Day is nothing like Kylington/Andersson. Passionless with a low hockey IQ, the last thing this team needs.

[StrykerSteve]

Debrincat, please. Two 50g/100p seasons in a row.

This is the list Mckenzie builds on where he thinks players will be drafted based on his discussions with teams, right? Not necessarily that player x is better than player y and what not.

That is correct.

NSFW!

Yes

Finally, a word about the process used to determine the TSN rankings.

Unlike many of the fine scouting services out there, which attempt to evaluate which prospects will turn out to be the best players in the NHL over the next five years, TSN's rankings are more a narrow prediction or forecast of when on draft day a prospect is most likely to be chosen.

TSN's top 80 is determined on the basis of a survey of 10 NHL scouts to get a consensus ranking. From our end, it's a highly objective exercise in numerically plotting the highly subjective views of the NHL scouts surveyed.

If you're looking for a more subjective and personal scouting report aimed at discerning which players will turn out to be the best professionals, you should check the work of TSN Director of Scouting Craig Button. His final Craig's List rankings can be found here.

Thompson seems to keep climbing the ranks. He will never be available by 35 at this rate.

[Mattman]

Jost is going to be a steal for which ever team takes him. He's overlooked easily by the names around him

This. Trade down and draft Jost(because in 3-4 years when they do a 2016 redraft he will in the top 5) and get another pick and go after a guy like Gauthier.

I wonder why James Duthie wasn't the host.

[Hackey]

Because he's cheesy and lame.

Because Andi Petrillo is awesome.

Bolded are the ones that I would like to see the most.

Bitten is interesting because his parents were both professional Badminton players, and while that has nothing to do with hockey, he does have natural athleticism. All three are very fast and skilled players also, which would help.
