I agree with pretty much all of this, hurts to see Chmelevski in T4 as I would personally put him into T3 but I understand the viewpoint.

I would include Hatakka into the middle of T3 or top of 4, Laroque in T4 or 5. I'd add Spiridonov; T4 tho, and if we add Dahlen I'd say bottom of T3 or into 4 as well.

For goalies I'd also add Melnichuk into bottom of T3 or into 4.

You are right about Hatakka, forgot to throw him in I'll do that now. Chmelevski is a bubble T3 guy for me but I feel like he's been passed in terms of depth and he is running out of time, I hope he proves me wrong though.

I edited my comment with more opinions incase you care to see!

Yeah I think Chmelevski has this year as his final shake. I hope he earns a spot out of camp Id love to see him and Leonard on the wings on Bonino for line 3. I think that would be ideal but he has to earn it.

Kane/ Meier - Hertl - Bara
Meier/ Kane - Cooch - Labanc
Leonard - Bonino - Chmelevski/ Balcers
Dahlen - Gambrell/ Weatherby/ Pedersen - Nieto/ Balcers
(I dont care to recall all the other wingers we have competing but Id like to see Chmelevski steal the 3rd line from Balcers)

Pretty much right. I would argue for Gushchin in tier 2 but otherwise I don't have any quibbles. Sharks typically try to draft NHL'ers not necessarily stars or "elite" prospects. But they are pretty good at drafting NHL regulars. It's only in the last two years we've been able to source talent from the top two rounds, consistently.

Well done ratings, thumbs up.

Pretty much spot on, good stuff. Only thing I'd personally change is knocking down Gaudreau (and maybe Gushchin) a notch to tier 4.
