Quoting: LeafsFanForSomeReason
I feel the same about Dmitri Ovchinnikov.
On him specifically, A lot of scouts (aka pronman and Wheeler) who have seen him say he isn't it, Wheeler however ranked Miettinen 36th overall.

What laws of math? You listed 20 players. There are 90 1st, 2nd and 3rd rounders.
The only ones that are pretty much available at where would you pick them are Nickl, Lehtinen, Foudy, Smilanic and Benning. Do you want my lists for each round for possible Leafs selections? I have 200 players scouted and listed, I can give you that. But this is not realistic expectation.. and I dont wanna sound like a jerk either, Im just saying..
There are A LOT of players I didn't list who are expected to go much higher than these guys. I just didn't find them or their skill sets interesting enough to keep tabs of.
I also have them listed as interesting as there is a reason I think they will fall. Andrae for example because of his height. Blomqvist as well. I never said they would all be available. These are players who I am watching to see if they fall into a spot where the Leafs could draft them - Hence draft targets. Realistically anyone with a ^ is not happening, but I think they are overrated and that there are better options. The ones without the ^ I think could all fall into the Leafs lap for one reason of another - not that they all will.
While I would be interested in your list I want to note that I have a lot of these guys in the round ranked based on where Pronman and Wheeler have them. Basically if they are close enough to a Leafs pick and have something that could underrate them I put them here.
For example, Wheeler has Tullio 68th overall. Pronman has him 82nd overall. Mid to late 3rds drop well into the fourth and even the 5th all the time, so he very well could be available at one of the Leafs 4th round picks.
Miettinen for example is ranked 36th by wheeler, 116 by Pronman and 72 for Euro's by NHLCS. He should be available late.
Rossi I have here because I think he could go 3rd overall but he might drop as far as 7th.
Villeneuve is a special case. He will likely be gone in the 3rd round - in which we don't have a pick. That is why he has the only 4-^ rating among anyone else in the list.
I want to emphasise that the round I have next to the player is not where I think they will go, but which pick I would use to target him. Villeneuve is not good enough to warrant our 2nd so he goes in the tier below despite the fact I don't think he will be there.
Barron had major injury issues and could fall as a result. The list goes on and on.
