it happens all the time that prospects show glimpses early, but then don't develop as expected. Last year for instance, Nick Ebert, who was a top 5 or top 10 candidate for most experts before the season, was just barely picked at all, by L.A. with the very last pick of the draft (210th). Andreas Athanasiou was also a top 10 candidate at the beginning of the season, then dropped to 110th overall.
I really hope Barkov drops ... it happens. Couturier dropped from 3 to 8, remember?
