I fail to see why all these "experts" are dropping a consensual top 3 pick one year ago anywhere from 4-7 spots because he played on a brutal team.

78 points in 58 games and lead his team by 38 points in scoring doesn't scream of a player regressing to me.
McKeen's isn't dropping him because he played on a bad team. Did you listen to the interview? They have him at #11 because they think he's a 3rd line centre if he doesn't improve his skating. They think he can be a top two line centre if his skating improves.

Obviously they aren't as high on him as some. Scouting opinions will vary.
