2019 NHL Draft Rankings

Hughes at 1? Kaliyev at 10? Soderstrom all the way at 21?

And so many more things can be changed with this.

I don't see why he can't have Hughes at one. That's not really a major critique considering he likely will go first, even though I still strongly believe Kakko is better. There's other things here that I would point out before Hughes 1st.

It is a personal opinion. We all have opinions, so this list is not necessarily wrong. Kaliyev has an improved chance to produce on a struggling Hamilton Bulldogs team, with guys like Saigeon and Entwistle getting traded. I think Kaliyev has the potential to be an elite sniper and he is probably the purest goal scorer in this draft. I think Soderstrom has the potential to rise and Honka might slip, but for now I kept him outside my Top-20 just to keep it safe. Dorofeyev and Pelletier are a few of the most underrated prospects in this draft class. And Hughes will go first overall. It is like the Matthews/Laine debate in 2016 when Laine had a great WJC as well as a good season in Liiga. Things will change over time, but I am confident with my current list.
