Uhh the world Juniors are held before the draft, and we were talking about play one year after the draft, as he was comparing Toews' progression a year on to Staal's. Staal had a great NHL campaign and Toews became everybody's favourite prospect for his clutch performances for Canada. At that point in time, Toews was highly touted. Even if you want to argue argue about value in draft year, nobody blinked an eye with where Toews went.
