Consensus rarely applies past the top 5, let alone later rounds. This would be more like in hindsight.

Why would you guys pick Wallstedt when you have Georgiev and Shesterkin? And if you picked Wolf and Primeau before?

Totally. I should been more clear in saying these are "average rankings".
So if a player is ranked 8, 14, 17, 11, 10 by five scouting services or draft experts, his consensus ranking would be #12 (8+14+17+11+10 = 60 / 5 = 12).



These are discretion-free, no choice in selections is made.
Its simply taking the highest ranked player remaining (according to consensus/average rankings) at each pick.

I'm a sharks fan and in now way a rangers fan but I don't think he did a bad job.
yes some picks are better this way than what he did but you have to take into account the needs of the team vs the best pick and the logic suggests he was marginally better than the consensus.

I am a Devils fan, but call me biased. It baffles me that people see Gorton's tenure as a successful one.
Take out luck (lottery wins with Lafreniere, Kakko, and Fox and Panarin falling into their lap), and his time as GM was one blunder after another.

Trading Pionk for Trouba, resigning Trouba at $8 million with full NMC, giving away Ryan Graves for nothing, the Buchnevich thing, paying Kreider $6.5m until he is 36 yrs old, Lias Andersson, Vitali Kravtsov, Tony DeAngelo, teammates punching one another, prospects not reporting to AHL, star players just leaving mid-season because politics upset them, prospects badmouthing each other in press, the whole Braden Schneider thing, the Tom Wilson thing, announcing their rebuild via open letter, then later announcing the rebuild is over only to end up with #1 overall the season after it was "over"

It was a constant dumpster fire.

Do you have the public consensus rankings since 2016? Links?
