Obviously biased but the devils should be higher than 6.

Not sure why he included Makar (24) but left off Bratt (24)

i agree i have the Devils at 2 and he had a couple '98 born players looks like they were all drafted in 2017 though so they are considered late bdays

Ranking Liljegren as a "C" (depth player) in this ranking lost what ever shred of credibility Button had in my eyes. No he's not some all star but reliable guy that you can trust in any situation on any pair at just 23 years old. Leafs as a team shouldn't be very high on this list but his assessment of Liljegren was very disappointing.

agreed, he is already a B and quite honestly is trending towards borderline B/A or a B+ if you will

if we see two-way play Liljegren of today + offensive play Liljegren of what he was drafted as / marlies , look tf out. That's what would get him into the A tiers. B+ today agreed.

A couple other ones really had my head scratching as well. Off the top of my head, Lafreniere as a C baffled me. He's a "depth forward" today, sure, but still potential to figure it out. Anything short of a B is just way too early to be giving up like that.
