Don't think we can throw a blanket over the entire league by saying if you're a first rounder you will be provided a better chance than anyone else. Maybe I'm getting too old, but I still believe in everyone earning their shot of playing in the NHL regardless of draft position. If you show you are capable and ready then you have earned the right to play on the big club.

Brayden Shenn went head to head in a playoff series and lost to Max Rienhart... Significant test over signifcant time frame with significant importance. ..... are there any illussions as to who will be given the chance to play 40 NHL games this year???
If Shenn isn't at least given a shot with the Flyers then Holgrem is a lot closer to looking for a new job.
If Backlund was a total dud with the Heat ... after the build up that he would be the leading scoring in the CHL , his great performance at the WJC , his play with in the WHL playoff with the Rockets he still was going to get a real shot with the Flames .
You don't think that Baertschi and Nemisz will be given a better or more opportunity than Howse, Reinhart, Wahl and Horak? Management has more or an investment in them and want to see them succeed so they can show how smart they are in picking them.
Even in failure you have your chances extended ----You don't think Logan Macmillan would be playing in the ECHL or some Swiss league if he wasn't a 19th pick overall?
