Mining for Hidden Gems in Bob McKenzie’s Updated Draft Rankings
Photo by Bruce Bennett/Getty ImagesI love reading Bob McKenzie’s draft rankings. It’s a great resource to look ahead to the NHL draft because it shows where a player will be taken. There are some guys who go way higher or lower, but in general it is the most accurate rankings that reflect how NHL teams will actually draft players.
In December, Bob released his first rankings for the 2021 draft. It only included his top 20 rankings, so not even a full round. On Monday morning, McKenzie released his second round of rankings for the season. It included 96 rankings and four honourable mentions. So by now, it covers the first three rounds.
