Here is a better list posted by Scoutman in December 2008, about 3 1/2 years in advance. As you can see he had Yakupov #1 back then. Also good call on Frk, Grigorenko, Collberg, Samuelsson, Reilly as they all turned out to be very good prospects. Excellent Work!

Now I wanted to post and compare Scoutman's 2015 NHL Draft list that he posted in March 2012, about 3 years/3 Months in advance. I bet a few of these players will be top picks in 3 years as well. Scoutman knows his stuff.

Right now I'm thinking the top 6 on his list could all be top players for the 2015 draft, but only time will tell. I'm really hoping Saarela is the real deal and he is like Yakupov in 3 years, meaning he's still very high on this list
Here's his 2016 list that he posted in April 2012, about 4 years/2 months in advance, similar to his first 2012 list that he posted in March 2008. I know that Tyler Benson and Mitchelle Balmas are looking very good as of now, but we'll see. Great work as always by Scoutman.
