Description

It's the king of the posters, mondo, here with the undisputable tier list for the 2019 draft. And by "undisputable" I mean entirely disputable.

These rankings are based on what I believe their potenials will end up being. I'm probably wrong and this doesn't matter but you'll definetely get upset about it, which is fun. I'm really doing this so I can remember the tier list I made here.

Tiers are as follows:

LW - Special: This tier is really for the truely outstanding players. They have that "factor" that goes beyond just a franchise or elite player.

C - Elite/Franchise: The "excellent" category. Players in this tier are those that you build the team around.

RW - First Line/Pairing: The "great" category. Players that can play top minutes well, but you really wouldn't consider them for anything beyond that.

LD - Middle Six/Top 4: The "good" category.

RD - Bottom Six/Pairing: The "okay" category.

Scratch - Busts: Mainly a placeholder if I or anyone uses this for older drafts. These guys didn't make it.

For goaltenders, if they appear in "First Line", they are a starter. Anywhere lower than that is backup.
