They account for the likelihood of a player reaching his top potential.

And the numbers, the higher the better-or value?

Yeah, higher the better. So a 8.0D has a very high ceiling, but a lot will have to go right for him to hit that ceiling (Tedenby, for lack of a better example).

A 6.0B isnt likely to be an impact player, but for whatever reason, you can be fairly certain that player will reach his full potential.

We can rest assured that it's not Volchenkov, because he was obviously sent back to the present day from the future by Skynet.

Is it just me, or is Yakupov the most attractive first overall pick since Kovalchuk?

You obviously didnt see my NHL 12 CHL career with Portland

I'd give Matteau a 7B, from what I've read.
