Thread: Draft Moves
You couldn't be more wrong unfortunately.

Ty Smith is NOT one of the best defensive prospects in the league.
He's one of the better undersized offensive prospects in the league maybe, but hes not one of the best D prospects.

Zacha is no where near underrated, in fact he's exactly what he is which is a big body 3rd line center.
4th year in the league with an avg of 27 pts in 82 games... there's lots of these types of players.

Gaudreau is a proven elite scoring winger, with the ability to slot onto the left side of either Hughes or Hischier's lines.
You're on crack if you think that Johnny couldn't even go for the 7th O/A draft pick sadly.

Between 2016 and 2019 Gaudreau placed 5th in the league amongst forwards in 5 on 5 scoring rate (2.58/60). The top 10 is:

Mcdavid
Kucherov
Marchand
Matthews
Gaudreau
Malkin
Kane
Crosby
Panarin
Guentzal

During the same time period only one player in the entire league was in on a higher percentage of his teams on ice 5 on 5 points and that was Mcdavid.
You don't find these players (especially ones with 2 years left at a cap hit of 6.75) going for anything less, and honestly this is a bit less than I think CGY should get but it's realisitic.

..and you think a 7th overall magic bean has more value than that? Don't answer, it's rhetorical.
