    >Tier 3 is where it starts to get interesting as we see some notable movement from draft day. Specifically Pickering and especially Bystedt trended upwards significantly following strong post-draft seasons. They are both players who have all the tools for NHL success and were more consistent with their puck play than in their draft seasons.

    >Jimmy Snuggerud and Jiri Kulich are also players who saw their prospect stocks rise after highly productive years in college and the AHL respectively.

    Too early for this… but still fun.

    Give it like 4 months and I bet Cooley jumps to that #1 spot.
