How Geekie made it into the Top 3 is beyond me. Far too many concerns in his game. He also doesn't have this crazy high ceiling that could make picking him that high worth it.
Even if healthy, Miroshichenko is not a Top 5 player ahead of the Draft. He simply isn't. He'd barely be in the Top 20.
Nemec doesn't drop to 9.
"US Development program kids ALWAYS get overhyped" After that sentence I knew who this rankings were from lol
Oh yeah, all of those "overhyped" players like Hughes, Matthews, Kane, M. Tkachuk, Larkin, McAvoy and the guy you named your account after...
If anything, USNTDP player get underrated before the draft.
Nazar at 26, Lambert at 38, Snuggerud at 50, Nelson at 48... At that point you're just seeking attention.
Pickering isn't clearly the 3rd best D.
A few of those players in the late first aren't going to go that high.
