Prospect Ramblings – My January 2020 Draft Rankings

Pat Quinn

 

 

Welcome to my Friday ramblings as I could not get this out on Thursday because, like I said in December, when I posted my original rankings (found HERE) that narrowing these down to 31 stresses me out. However, here I am again, high stress and all to bring you my new rankings! I have also made it 50 so it is less stressful, and added what the players were ranked previously.

 

 

These rankings will be just my opinion, from what I have watched and read, of the top 31 prospects for the 2020 NHL draft

 

 

Also, before we start here is my #GoodTweet of the week:

 

{source} <blockquote class=”twitter-tweet” data-lang=”en”><p lang=”en” dir=”ltr”>Wow this is a lot for an older player. Seems like a &quot;thanks for that super low AAV contract earlier&quot; type of deal.<br>Backstrom also seems like one of those players who's game will age very well <a href=”https://t.co/oTkYsqkHRg”>https://t.co/oTkYsqkHRg</a></p>&mdash; Pat Quinn (not that one) (@FHPQuinn) <a href=”https://twitter.com/FHPQuinn/status/1217089762281918464?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw”>January 14, 2020</a></blockquote>{/source}

RIP Neil Peart. Rush was such a great band I was able to see them three times and even got to see the last tour they did! At least live performances live on, well and the music too.
