We’ve finished the second week of our 2020 Top 25 Under 25: Winter Edition, and it’s time once again to discuss the community vote. You’re all wrong. See you next week.
OK fine...
Let’s look at where you ranked them and compare to our experts’ rankings. What stands out to me in this mushy middle group is the community heavily favoured older and more experienced prospects over the younger up and comers and new draft picks.
We had Egor Korshkov and Denis Malgin far below your rankings, and not because we all continually forget Denis Malgin exists (glares at today’s FTB) but because these older prospects were ranked based on their age as a near definitive indication that what we’ve seen from them recently is their maximum, or near-maximum potential.
