2011 NHL DRAFT: Top Overall Risk/Reward Rating of Scouted Prospects

Below is a ranking of the overall risk/reward ratings of 2011 NHL draft-eligible players I've scouted. Keep in mind that these are one-game ratings calculated using a risk/reward system I've created, and are not a reflection of how these players should be ranked overall.

Risk/Reward rating is the difference between positive events per minute of ice-time and negative events per minute of ice time. For example, a player with a risk/reward rating of 2.00 averages 3 positive plays (successful pass, won puck-battle, etc) for every 1 negative play (unsuccessful pass, lost puck-battle, etc) for every minute they are on the ice.
