wait how do you have a "96" and "94" in your honourable mentions if you've given them a higher overall rating? Also I think Byfiled and Hughes are high and Stuetzle should be somewhere here.

That's interesting. It's really hard to predict that kind of thing, but I have a feeling that Aho will be there

My guess is because they'll start playing later in the decade

I haven’t seen enough sample size from the honourable mention guys to rank them on the list, but they were allowed to join their region’s major junior league as an underager so I rated them based on potential.

I will be ranking Stuetzle in LW.

Thanks for the suggestion. I thought Bernier also played LW so that’s where I decided to rank him.

Sad no sharks make the top 25 for next decade, I’m hoping we tank hard next year get a top pick and shove ourselves in the conversation.
Honestly it’s so hard to predict especially a decade in advance because most the players who will end the 20’s in the top 20
Might have yet to be drafted.

Schiefele is on that list imo. He won’t start declining at least for another 5 years.

As has been said, its really hard to tell. I think you did a great job given the knowedlge that we have but I agree with some of the comments:
For example, Bruins have Jack Studnicka who has the same projections as Nick Suzuki rn, obviously Suzuki made the league last year but still

Yeah maybe San Jose will get someone like Beniers or Johnson this season.
