As Mike Babcock promised, there has been plenty of pain to suffer through this season but here is the light at the end of the tunnel: the draft prospects.
In an attempt to get a good sense of where the young guns are slated to be taken in the draft, I have developed the PSG Aggregate NHL Draft Rankings. These combine the work of nine major outlets for draft info in North America.
Individual rankings are averaged and then re-ranked, giving a list that gives an overall view of where the 2016 prospects are ranked heading into the draft. If you have any questions, you can find me on twitter at @3rdPeriodSuits, or e-mail [email protected].
Outlets included in these rankings are:
- Corey Pronman (ESPN Insider)
- Mark Seidel (NACS)
- Damien Cox (Sportsnet)
- Craig Button (TSN)
- Ryan Kennedy (THN)
- HockeyProspect.com
- Future Considerations
- ISS
- McKeen’s Hockey
