You’re undervaluing Pickering, Schaefer and Gaucher. All will be great Middle 6 Forwards. Pickering will be a great 3/4.

I feel like in general OP is overvaluing the entire round. Apparently we're likely to see 4/5 elite players and about 22 top six/top pairing players.

We're obviously gonna see busts, but I'm trying to give everyone the benefit of the doubt.

Brotherman, Snuggerud can only be an A+. Along with Yurov, probably the best two value picks in the whole round.

And yeah, I think you;re really selling Pickering short.

True, I’m keeping Yurov at A though, for the reason I mentioned. If I was to ignore that, obviously he’d be A+, but it is still a real factor that needs to be considered

I’m really not sold on Pickering though. Hope he proves me wrong!

Fair enough. I think a lot that you listed are their ceiling rather than the projection.
