Draft Dynasty final ranking 2020 (Top 10) 

It also goes to show betting against Steve Yzerman is probably a bad idea. I absolutely love the Seider pick.

Last year I was agree with seider and 2018 kotkaniemi over zadina

Would not surprise me if Stevie Y took Sanderson at 4... That would be an elite D pair for years

I hope Ottawa draft stutzle and rossi

But not over Thachuck

I wonder why a good chunk of top 10 draft rankings are similar or the same...😐

@@gamewinner3133 You're right. Reading it back, my comment was phrased poorly. It's not that it's frustrating per se, it's just a bit boring when everyone agrees all the time. :)

It’s because people follow the experts, people who interview actual NHL scouts who do this for a living. I’d rather listen to them than some dude on RU-vid trying to stir up controversy for attention

@@jg3126 this guy is now a pro scout fore the montreal canadien, so do not talk too soon lol

lots of Ottawa fans subscribed to the channel this year. Might have something to do with all the first picks you guys have :p

Me too 🙌

Draft Dynasty who do you think the Ottawa Senators are gonna choose in the top 10?

Draft Dynasty please!!

Don’t you love Rossi at 3 instead of stutzle/byfield? Please, tell their front office to take Rossi at 3. Would be much appreciated.

In a season*

Same I agree Rossi should be in the conversation with Stutzle and Laff, but you can’t argue 5’10

Size should not be a concern. Just because he's small doesn't mean he's a strong and gritty 2 way player. He gets in the dirty areas and makes his teammates better. Hes also a great leader and a future captain imo

Fortunately the Redwings have Hakin Anderson, who was responsible for bringing Nick Lidstrom to Detroit. Im excited that we got Lucas Raymond and the future just got brighter.

As a Wings fan i'd be thrilled.

Well McKenzie's list is the best because it isn't just his opinion, it's basically polls what a bunch of legit NHL scouts think and compiles it into a ranking.

@@atom-o-tronic3505 you are correct. But the fact is the no one in the history of scouting has ever ranked even one round in near exact order of professional relevance. So that excites me that we still haven't identified the correct formula to project talent. Therefore, I encourage our favorite french canadian scout to keep being different. Who knows, he could be the first to get a round correct five years after the draft!

@@coryhames9331 Of course you can't ever pinpoint a draft with complete accuracy. But McKenzie's poll rankings give insight to where NHL scouts value certain players and the range we might see them go. It kind of gives us a framework of the draft to follow. I don't mind DD doing his thing & expressing his opinion cause he is a great draft source and knows what he's talking about. Just a few big hot takes in here that I don't think will resemble the real draft at all.

@@atom-o-tronic3505 no problem with that. I guess it depends what you're looking for: a mock vs a scouts personal rankings - two different lists.

If he was playing another 2 1\2 minutes a game like the OHL kids, he would have popped 100 points and be looked at way differently rn EDIT: actually just by extrapolating rates he would have been around 110 points with an extra 2 min a game

lord manshaft What do you think the reason is that he didn’t play a little more

@@Surl9596 Portland just tends not to give young guys massive minutes, and theyre consistently good enough that they dont need to.

Merci Oui ça pourrait être une bonne idée :)

Still not sure what type of video I will do post draft :) but it's a good idea

I just want to prepare you just in case : I heard a scout saying in a podcast that he heard rumours about the Red Wings being interested in picking Jake Sanderson thinking he would look good next to Seider

Nope. Rossi has the lowest ceiling of the prospects in that area. He’s already a finished product. His ceiling is a yanni gourde: really good 3rd line player on a contender, decent second line player on a lower level team. The other guys have way higher offensive ceilings. Raymond or perfetti will be the pick as long as the top three goes as planned and stutzle/byfield doesn’t fall to them.

@@commandershepard1838 This 'finished product' thing is absolutely silly. As far as I can tell, it's from a Reddit post citing an anonymous "NHL Scout". People need to use their heads. Athletes don't peak at age 18. Also, the quote makes it seem like a plus that Perfetti didn't hit the gym as much as Rossi, or didn't work on his skating as much as Rossi. It what world does hardwork and commitment count as a negative? It makes little sense tbh. It's either made up or just designed to mislead. No scout can be that dumb.

@@francoislaroche4918 Yeah, I've read that. Sanderson wouldn't be a bad pick (even though it's a stretch, like Seider), but next year's draft looks deep for defensemen. Much rather get a top F now--either Rossi or Raymond--and then comeback and get a D next year. But, I agree... Yzerman could very well surprise us again.

@@hckytwn3192 yup I agree with you and the RW wouldn't look bad with Sanderson for whom the ceiling looks like being a Jay Bouwmeester type of D.

I'm with im on this one. Feels like Byfield is a floater sometimes. Not good for the longhaul.

Sanderson can be 1 of the 3 or 4 best players in the draft I think

But are they flaws he’ll never correct??? Or are you judging him based on what he is right now.... What player doesn’t have flaws???? It’s rare when you find someone who’s just insane at everything. Any team who drafts a kid is going to develop them and try to get rid of their flaws. If you’re arguing that Byfield won’t ever fix his downsides, then you might be insane.

@@skylerfelix7609 Am I arguing that Byfield won't ever fix his flaws? No. Am I insane? No. Byfield is a good player with the size package and all but he really needs to change his style of play from a 1 dimensional scoring player who relies on scoring off the rush in the OHL to one who can utilize that 6ft 4 frame, being more physical both defensively and offensively, and like most prospects, improving his defensive game overall.

He should be 10

I might have tears of joy if he's available at 16th

@@DraftDynasty1 Timmins too methinks

Totally agree. Imagine getting byfield, Rossi and Quinn

My heart wants Askarov

3Owen 1Videos If I’m not mistaken, if TB finishes off the NYI, their pick will come in at 28 or 29 (or 30? Not sure about Seattle’s pick). It will take a LOT to move that up to Quinn or Askarov territory. It could have been as high as 13, if Florida had beaten them in the play-ins. Then Quinn would have been doable. Thanks a lot, Panthers

@@mrpeppery Seattle doesn't draft until 2021. Pick also couldn't of been higher than 17 due to the Isle's winning percentage. Trading up is definitely possible with the surplus of 2nd and 3rd round picks the team has. (29th and 33rd is essentially two late first round picks).

brennan detzler yes, I was forgetting about 33. That’s a good point. And thanks for setting my head straight on Seattle. I was having a brain spasm. But their NYI pick definitely could’ve gone higher than 17 if the NYI had lost the play-ins. In fact, 17 would have been impossible. If they lose in the play-ins they are automatically in the bottom 15. Then you look at winning percentage, considering the teams that were eliminated from the play-ins. Of all the teams in the play-in round, there were only two with better winning percentages than the Islanders (Pittsburgh and Carolina). If they both had lost their play-in series and NYI had also lost, then those two teams would have gone 14 (Carolina) and 15 (Pittsburgh) and the Isles’ pic would have gone 13th. Many people consider Jack Quinn to be in the top 10 in this draft. Jack Quinn is likely going to be an all-star in the NHL. He is an elite goal scorer and if not the best then the second best in this draft. I don’t think any combination of very late first round or lower round picks is going to get you Jack Quinn. I think it’s also going to involve some roster players or existing prospects. Good ones.

He was 12th

In three years everyone’s gonna love Raymond.

Byfields overrated af, does nothing against equal competition

Had also heard that neighborhood for him. Will be interesting to see.

6 is high I dont have him top 10

Elie Jomphe Man, how crazy that you know more than Pronman, Button, McKenzie!!

Byfield is not a top 5 sure maybe a top 10 but i think 7 or 8 players have more upside than him

Il a fait une vidéo la dessu l'année passée, peut être qu'il va refaire ça

À mon avis le CH à de bonnes chance à soit Jarvis, Gunler, Reichel, Perrault...

Decided to skip goalies in the ranking. Said it in the first part 31-20

Believe it or not, he got snatch up by the Habs as an amateur video scout. Kinda sucks as a sens fan since I really enjoyed his prospects videos but his talent for identifying talent is definitely there. Especially in this day and age, it makes sense and I'm really happy for him!

Je serais content avec nimporte quelle joueur dans mon top 15

@@DraftDynasty1 J'aimerais voir Jacob Perreault, un énorme talent qui pourrait devenir un steal j'espère.

Wow! Marcel Dionne is also my comparison for Rossi. It's incomprehensible that Yzerman, first, and the others afterwards overrode Rossi.

It is very likely yes.

not much of a scorer. Sometimes he's trying too hard. He could do a simple play but choose to do something fancy.

Et le monde comprenne pas que c’est un ranking! Pas un mock draft! 🤦🏻

Exactly what I was thinking. Especially the Physical side of play. That can be fixed no matter what but if Ottawa drafts him and puts him on a line with Brady Tkachuk he’s definitely gonna learn a thing or two

Thank you. In the same rankings he says that Stutzle needs to work on a few things. Well..... why can’t Byfield also??? Are we ranking these kids right now? Or where they will be.

This is not a mock draft, so its not draft positions, these are player rankings, 2 different things

He will also be a defensive handicap

It may seem like he’s overrated because everyone else in the draft this year have very high ceilings. He’s gonna be a force in the nhl no doubt in my mind.

@@youngo1 Byfield is also about a year younger than Lafreniere and Rossi. Thats a huge factor at teenage but people just choose to ignore it.

Him at 6 is crazy tho. Lowest I see him going is 4

I was impressed with the latest games I saw recently. He's clearly improving. Skating and shooting looks much better. Maybe he was tired when I saw him last year. Lots of players slowed down after the WJC.

They won’t, this guy is a clown

@@jg3126 I wouldnt say that but I would say the list sucks because he bias with it

Well I mean being a big heavy strong skater isn’t a common thing I feel like he has a lot of pressure on him people saying he’s going to be a bust people nagging him on his performance he’s probably crumbling under the pressure

I feel like people are knocking him for not doing X or Y Or playing like Z..... yet Stutzle doesn’t get the same treatment??? He has just as much to improve on as Byfield does and he’s a bit older. Kinda confusing why Byfield is getting so much scrutiny lately, as if everyone’s over scouting him and now simply looking for every little detail they can find to say he’s not worth it.

Completely agree. I have him at 5

I mean Dorion is a great scout, Im not worried
