Also pretty rare that the top 8 players of a draft are as good as the ones available this year. Combine that with the players being close in ability and you could see some movement in the top 8 as teams jockey to end up with a prospect at the position they desire most.
In particular with Nurse being potentially very high on some team's lists and being the only defenceman in the top 8 besides Jones we may see some movement with teams who target him.
