My 1st round pick last year, with another team's 8th overall pick, is currently a 67 overall rating, but an A+ offense, B+ defense, A- athleticism potential rating... problem is I forgot I didnt need to sign him to an entry level deal in the offseason, so now he's stuck on the 3rd/4th line in Abbotsford instead of in Jr.  |
From what i can remember he did have B+ potential or better ...I even made sure to give him 1st or 2nd line minutes in abby but he just never amounted to much. I did however get a lot of crappy trade offers for him.
I usually ended up using my picks to obtain good prospects from other teams (fyi, Larsson and Kulikov are beasts after about 2 years)
