The following condensed and averaged ranking uses the 2015 NHL Draft rankings of McKeen's Hockey, Corey Pronman, the International Scouting Services (ISS), Sportsnet's Damian Cox, TSN's Craig Button, The Hockey News' Ryan Kennedy, HockeyProspect.com, Future Considerations, and my own ranking through McKeen's Hockey.
All of the rankings, save mine (top 60), Pronman's (top 100), Button's (top 100), and McKeen's Hockey's (top 120) are in the format of a top 30. Below is an invaluable look at where the odds and evens meet for a balanced look at where the experts have 2015's top talents ranked.
