The Athletic’s Corey Pronman re-drafts the class of 2023 this morning, and he rather shockingly lists Nate Danielson (9th overall by Detroit) as the #6 overall pick, before apologizing for it…
People are going to push back on me for where I have Nate Danielson rated, especially after his start in Brandon this season. I may be wrong about him and the offense may not be there at higher levels, but I think he has legit NHL skill with a ton of athleticism and a good compete level. I see a very good potential NHL center.
Continued; Axel Sandin Pellikka gets moved up from 17th to 11th, and Trey Augustine gets bumped down to 52nd from 41st. Traded-for Nashville Predators draft pick Jesse Kiiskinen gets bumped down from 68th to 86th, and those are the only Detroit players listed by Pronman.
If you’re going to go so far as to spend time re-ranking 120 players based upon your observations of them, don’t apologize for it.
