The term "elite" is so overused in today's way to describe prospects. An elite prospect last year were guys like William Nylander, Ivan Provorov, Brandon Carlo, etc. Kempe and LaDue should not be considered elite. To throw those guys into that conversation is an atrocity. Being a Flyers fan, I don't throw players like Morin, Hagg, Sanheim into the term "elite". Sure those guys are good, but are they the cream of the crop? In this day and age, anyone drafted in the first couple of rounds and has a decent highlight reel is "Elite!".
