He's usually pretty thorough. I only put 26-100 since there was no writeups. He has alot of the current draftees in the top 25 for some reason. Dump will probably be upset there's no McIlrath in the 100, but I personally don't think he's worthy. I am glad Kristo and Buchnevich made the Top 60.

He's a moron. I'm not putting some stinking lazy, Russian prospect on there. Lindberg and Fast are two of the top 50 prospects outside the NHL right now. If they were drafted by the RedWings, they would be ranked in the top 40. The league has been stupid on McIlrath from day one so I'm not surprised. He will be one of the most respected defenseman in hockey in less than 3 years. That's because shutdown defenseman who can beat the living crap out of people are almost impossible to find in the NHL. Yet, stupid morons in the media still don't get it. The first time McIlrath pummels a tough guy on the other team, shuts down forwards every shift and lays some moron forward out with a huge hit, the entire fan base of the NHL will be whacking it and crying for their organization to draft a guy like him. It's so freakin obvious that will happen.
I think since they've been over in Sweden for a few years he sort of lost track of them, but I thought maybe Lindberg could sneak into the bottom there. He does seem to favor "name" prospects and recent draftees. St.Croix was close.
