Description
For those of you who followed along with my 2022 draft guides: I’m sorry, this new format that I’ve created for my 2023 iteration is taking some serious time. I’ve currently created 120 profiles, with about 130 left to go, give or take, before I make it public.

Please Not that I did not include anyone in this post which I haven’t done a report on (I’m through names A-Na) excluding Will Smith

Finally some respect to Gavin McCarthy and Sam Honzek. They are underrated players for sure.

EDIT: Also I would put Matt Wood and Andrew Cristall in the top 20.

Well I haven’t done a report on Wood yet, and Cristall is in my first round. Probably in that 25-32 range.

Pinelli that high? I have him in the early to mid 2nd round. Also, no Stramel? Otherwise this looks pretty damn solid.

Good rankings overall. Haven't looked into Molendyk all that much, surprised to see him this high. Halttunen seems very high too to me, have him in the 20s. Any particular reasons for these placements?

I’m a BIG Pinelli fan, probably a little too high for NHL GM’s but I like his game a lot.

I don’t have Stramel in the my top 20. Mid 30’s at the moment

Seems harsh on Stramel. I think he's handling the NCAA game really well and I liked a lot of what I saw these past few weeks.

Definitely have not watched him much.

Dudes who are 6’3 200+ with his hockey IQ usually go pretty high. Very well could go high 20’s
