General Comments
Barring some outlandish playoff performances, I believe my own final rankings are close to being set. I plan to get those written and published after I finish work on the McKeen's Draft Guide. When we look at my rankings versus NHL Central Scouting, there are certainly some differences. The big ones will be Michael Buchinger, Bryce McConnell-Barker, Christian Kyrou, Brady Stonehouse, and the unranked Owen Van Steensel.
I just can't fathom how Van Steensel is left off this list. He's basically Brady Stonehouse (who is also criminally under-ranked). One is 152 and the other is not listed? Van Steensel worked his way up North Bay's lineup this year and was a very versatile and effective player for them. It is easy to see him becoming a long time bottom six NHL player. Many similar (and less effective) players are ranked. He is not.
Props to Central Scouting for moving Goyette and Beck into that first round range. Both players deserve to be there IMO. They are my third and fourth ranked OHL'ers this year behind Wright and Mintyukov (who are a real tier above).
Some people might be shocked to see Ty Nelson ranked where he is, but remember a) Central Scouting had him 25th at midseason and b) he struggled in the second half. He's a second round graded prospect for me now too.
