I would say you are the only one I see saying this. Experts, scouts, GM's, all say differently
No one knows who will be good or bust, who will be like natural C's, etc.. because of covid
Really?
I think what I am saying jives with everything I have read, seen and heard.
The 1st round guys are pretty well-scouted and known.
The middle round guys will have plenty of NHLers and the hit/miss rate may be a little off than normal.
But the 5th, 6th, 7th round are going to have much more 'steals' since some of these under-scouted guys may slip.
So the overall talent is ok, pretty good, maybe just above average...it might just get more spread out over the draft.
The top-5 or top-10 are good, but not as strong as 2020, which was very top-heavy, but thin later on.
And 2022 will be best year since at least 2019, if not 2015.
