There's a much bigger gap than that.
And yeah, he's wrong too, such is the environment of drafting 18 year olds and trying to figure what they'll be at 23. He liked Nischuskin above MacKinnon, he liked Jost above most in the 2016 draft (also had Laine above Matthews). There are other examples of him being wrong too. But when he's right, boy is he right.
However, another reason I will listen to Boisvert more than I would Pronman, or Wheeler, or anyone else in the scouting space: He will go out on a limb for players he likes and he doesn't do it for clickbait.
He's the only one - and I do mean the only one - who correctly predicted what Cale Makar would become. He predicted he'd be a multiple time Norris finalist and one of the best d-men in hockey. And then you have people like Pronman who had him in the mid-teens.
He is right more often than not. Doesn't make him the gospel, doesn't make him impervious to mistakes, but it makes him someone that has much more credibility than the other people who do this.
