Once again you are mistaken. The list you provided is one ranking. Its not actual NHL scouts. The list you probably were thinking of is Bob McKenzies list which is a consensus of ten NHL scouts. It also shows the ranking of the player in all the other lists.
Bob McKenzie's list had MReilly at 8.

he posted the NA skaters too. No Forsberg or Teravainen

That was the central scouting bureau's list.

NA skaters. No Teravainen or Forsberg. Or even Lindholm

Yes. 5th among north american players....

Having seen both of their game I'd take Franson, easily. Schenn is going to be good but, he needs to keep improving his skating to truly be a top line guy. Schenn has no offensive upside and Franson is pretty solid in his own right defensively.
- Lipchitz

Like I said, both still young both have room to improve. When I see Franson is capable of playing top 6 lines, I'll put him ahead of Schenn. Many will disagree

wasn't injured this year.

what were NHL scouts thinking?

That's really your proof? Concrete stuff right there.

And Forsberg went well after Rielly.

you said you'd rather the opinions of scouts over bloggers so I posted a redraft voted by scouts.

does that change their rankings?

Anonymous scouts in a mock draft for a magazine. It's entertainment and the content is often intentionally controversial in those publications.

can I just say, aside from the one idiot pulling a fake WJC performance out of his ass for argument's sake, I am thoroughly enjoying this. Can't wait til the 2014 draft lol (because EDM's picking top 10)

does that change their rankings?
- TheNugeIsHuge

It doesn't really change their ranking but he was drafted ahead of all the European skaters. It shows that he was ranked right around 5.

That's really your proof? Concrete stuff right there.

Riellys 4th on this list even ahead of yakupov and way ahead of klefbom

You're the one that keeps giving "your opinion" yet we keep providing real sources and rankings. And you call us homers?

they drop Rielly to create international controversy?

NHL scouts. I don't take it that seriously, but Rielly wasn't a top 3 talent. There's arguably 5-6 guys I'd take over him. Damn near the same level of prospect as Nurse

A Craig Button list is your proof???

Riellys 4th on this list even ahead of yakupov and way ahead of klefbom
- MLeafs81

that's craig button. He had Emile Poirier and Mark Jankowski in the first round.

He also has J Schultz as the best prospect in the game. Klefbom over Murray. Scheifele over Huberdeau and Baertschi.

We can both pull up stuff from the internet that agress with us, it's the internet. What the hell is the point of that?

also Dougie Hamilton at 12. I'd put him at 3-5. He'll be a #1D at some point in his career. At 19 he played 2nd/3rd lines and faired quite well. I'd take him over Schultz as a prospect

Nothing you have come up with supports your opinion. Everything we have posted supports ours....

He wasn't a top 3 talent at the draft, he was a top 3 talent that fell due to injury. He was supposed to, and did, go around 5th.

This.

All I know is that we made the playoffs and have a great chance at making them this year which you guys don't especially with the division your in. You'll need a lot more then just klefbom and nurse to get back into the playoff picture

You are great Googlers, great work!

yes, like I said. Was ranked from 5th-8th/9th. There was a distinct possibility that Nurse was going to CAR at 5 and CAR fans'd be saying the same thing you are.

sore loser....

I think that is all you know. Seeing as we're talking about prospects and you're bringing up TO's first playoff berth since '04.

I don't see TO having a great chance at making the playoffs. In fact I have a bet with Cooshie or whatever his name is that they don't make it.

Go talk to the pension plan puppets guys and find all that's wrong with TO. They'll be finishing right next to EDM in the gutter.
