Soory for wasting your valuable time.

Did you actually read the article? Every one of the prospects you list except for Tolvonen falls into Wheeler's third-tier between #16–38, along with Valimaki and Fox. As the author himself is careful to point out, there is a "potential fluidity" within the tiers, which suggests that there is
very little differentiation between the value of all the players in this grouping. Like I said: ranking them as you have done in the form of a re-draft restricted to just 2017 is fairly meaningless to the point of quibbling.

Philosophically speaking there is as little value as ranking the Flames best prospects and whether they will eventual beat the odds and become bonafide NHL players as there would be discussing this articles opinion, no? At lot of people enjoy the mental exercise.

Certainly. But your opinions in this thread are construed as pretty rigidly committed to assigning numbers. I mean, in your first post you pontificated rather vociferously about a difference of a single placement between Fox and Valimaki in the form of a question posed with a consequential measure of incredulity:
