  • Nail Yakupov is the clear-cut #1 right now.  In the 9 lists, he's ranked first overall six times.  He's ranked no lower than second by anyone.
  • Mikhail Grigorenko is ranked #1 in the other three lists, but he's also ranked as low as 11th, 9th and 6th, so he falls behind Ryan Murray in the overall vote as Murray is ranked no lower than 6th by anyone.
  • Only two players get a #1, but six different players are ranked 2nd overall:  Nail Yakupov, Ryan Murray, Mikhail Grigorenko, Nick Ebert, Filip Forsberg, Matthew Dumba.
  • Nick Ebert is the most divisive player on the list.  Everyone's got him ranked in the top 25, but he ranges from 2nd overall to 23rd.
  • The Edmonton Oil Kings Griffin Reinhart got no love from Bob McKenzie (14th), but is as high as #4 on two different lists.
  • Mathew Dumba is 2nd on McKenzie's list, 3rd on Button's list and no higher than 7th on anyone else's list.
