SHARKIE'S TOP 2023 DRAFT RANKINGS: END OF SEASON EDITION WITHOUT EXPLANATIONS

Finally some respect for Gabe Perreault.

I know. Can't believe people think he'll go outside the top 20 or 25.

I get where you’re coming from on him more but to be a top 10 pick for me you have to be someone who can change a franchise or make a massive impact which I don’t think Perreault can do

If the Hawks landed Ritchie and But in the 2nd round I'd be ecstatic

I like Perreault a lot too, but small players always fall at the draft. Like Caufield in 2019, he could be the steal of the draft.

But with this many big skilled players available this year, i don't see Perreault or Cristall making the top 10.

Fantilli in Washington would be nasty, though I have a sneaking feeling they might consider trading down if they end up at 2 and targeting Michkov instead. That being said, I love the idea of Fantilli in Washington since it would allow the Caps to deal Kuznetsov and have Fantilli in a timeshare role with Backstrom at 2C until Fantilli is fully ready.
