This is a virtually meaningless point to make in my opinion. The first overall draft picks include Crosby and complete busts, but they aren't all expected to be the same quality. It's one thing to recognize there's a high degree of unpredictability, but it's completely another to say "Eff it, it's impossible to really make any projections." Gustavsson was good for 62 games over two years of the SEL, which is lower than the KHL. Ramo already had a taste of NHL when he was younger and then success in the KHL for four years and over 170 games.
