Tier 1, yeah.
That Tier 1 was obviously just two players right now, Porter Martone and Michael Misa.
I would expect that I'm adding at least
two more players to that tier when I do my summer list.
So I do this top 100 drafted prospects ranking twice a year, obviously.
So there will be another one immediately following the draft kind of in early July there after free, after we get through the draft and free agency, it typically drops.
And I would expect that you're seeing Gavin McKenna and Ivar Stenberg joining that, that pair of Michael Misa and Porter Martone at the top somewhere.
Yeah, just because he hasn't played at the AHL level since turning pro out of college last year, it just feels like he's had that sort of extended time now playing in the NHL.
I didn't graduate Sam Dickinson, who's obviously played exclusively in the NHL this year.
But Sam feels like more of a development case, if you will, than at the NHL level than Ziv has been.
I know there's been some real ups and downs for Ziv and he's still very much learning how to make his game work at the NHL level as well.
But Sam has been kind of kids gloves at times this year.
And so that was, and Sam also doesn't have the option of going back to the HL.
I think had he had the option of going back to the HL that we would have seen him there.
A player like William does have the option of going to the AHL, and his team has chosen not to send him there.
So I think that two teams have chosen not to send him there.
So I think that sort of sends a stronger message that he's no longer a prospect and that we're looking at a full-time NHLer there.
But he's another player I would imagine your follow-up is, where would he rank?
He's another guy who would be in that second tier.
So I had two players at the top, and then I had a sort of 3-13 tier.
