Originally, this was supposed to be a weak draft. Is that still the case or did the emergence of some players (e.g., Iginla, Silayev) improve the outlook a bit.

I never agreed it was weak. That was put out there by a couple of draft analysts that I generally view to be amongst the most poorly informed. And it is weaker relative to last year (because of the strength of the top end last year). But I would say last year was a above average to strong draft.
Overall I think it's an average draft, but above average to strong on D.
