Canucks Central
Looking Ahead to the Draft and the Stanley Cup Playoffs

Tier 1, yeah.

Canucks Central
Looking Ahead to the Draft and the Stanley Cup Playoffs

That Tier 1 was obviously just two players right now, Porter Martone and Michael Misa.

Canucks Central
Looking Ahead to the Draft and the Stanley Cup Playoffs

I would expect that I'm adding at least

Canucks Central
Looking Ahead to the Draft and the Stanley Cup Playoffs

two more players to that tier when I do my summer list.

Canucks Central
Looking Ahead to the Draft and the Stanley Cup Playoffs

So I do this top 100 drafted prospects ranking twice a year, obviously.

Canucks Central
Looking Ahead to the Draft and the Stanley Cup Playoffs

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.

Canucks Central
Looking Ahead to the Draft and the Stanley Cup Playoffs

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.

Canucks Central
Looking Ahead to the Draft and the Stanley Cup Playoffs

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.

Canucks Central
Looking Ahead to the Draft and the Stanley Cup Playoffs

I didn't graduate Sam Dickinson, who's obviously played exclusively in the NHL this year.

Canucks Central
Looking Ahead to the Draft and the Stanley Cup Playoffs

But Sam feels like more of a development case, if you will, than at the NHL level than Ziv has been.

Canucks Central
Looking Ahead to the Draft and the Stanley Cup Playoffs

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.

Canucks Central
Looking Ahead to the Draft and the Stanley Cup Playoffs

But Sam has been kind of kids gloves at times this year.

Canucks Central
Looking Ahead to the Draft and the Stanley Cup Playoffs

And so that was, and Sam also doesn't have the option of going back to the HL.

Canucks Central
Looking Ahead to the Draft and the Stanley Cup Playoffs

I think had he had the option of going back to the HL that we would have seen him there.

Canucks Central
Looking Ahead to the Draft and the Stanley Cup Playoffs

A player like William does have the option of going to the AHL, and his team has chosen not to send him there.

Canucks Central
Looking Ahead to the Draft and the Stanley Cup Playoffs

So I think that two teams have chosen not to send him there.

Canucks Central
Looking Ahead to the Draft and the Stanley Cup Playoffs

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.

Canucks Central
Looking Ahead to the Draft and the Stanley Cup Playoffs

But he's another player I would imagine your follow-up is, where would he rank?

Canucks Central
Looking Ahead to the Draft and the Stanley Cup Playoffs

He's another guy who would be in that second tier.

Canucks Central
Looking Ahead to the Draft and the Stanley Cup Playoffs

So I had two players at the top, and then I had a sort of 3-13 tier.
