The Top 25 Under 25 is done for the third time, and I hope it's been an encouraging series. There is a lot of talent in this organization, which means the future is bright. The thing is, I've got each of my top sixteen guys as quite likely to have a reasonable NHL career (say, at least 160 GP). If they all make it, that'll be incredible. More likely, I'm overvaluing a guy here, someone will lose a career to injury there, that kind of thing. After the jump, we'll look at the combined table.
Below is a chart showing the each writer's individual ratings. I've included all 42 players here because it gives some flavour to each person's list - flavour like Tyler Bunz, Philippe Cornet or Robby Dee in the Top 25. Anyroad, the columns in the chart are sortable; simply click on the header row and you're ready to go. If you want to look at the best list, just skip to the far right (kidding... but not really).

The guys with the biggest range of responses are Martindale (7 to 23), Cogliano (7 to 21), O'Marra (22 to 36), Bunz (20 to 34), Motin (16 to 29), Dubnyk (5 to 18), Pitton (29 to 41), Marincin (5 to 16), Cornet (24 to 35) and Dee (25 to 36).The most similar lists belong to Jonathan and Bruce, the most divergent to Derek and Bruce.
Where did we go wrong (you know, other than Derek using ties and not having Hall alone in first)? Give us your critiques in the comments!
