Lots of question marks after the top 15 or so and the Euros outside of Lindholm and Nichushkin make me uneasy. Too many bad memories of Jesper Mattson and the Swedish Wendel Clark, Niklas Sunblad.

Are you seriously uneasy based on something that happened +20 years ago? That's ridiculous. Drafting has changed so much in the past two decades—hell, it is now demonstrably different than it was even 10 years ago!—there is virtually little chance that we will ever see these sorts of selection errors in this day and age. There is simply too much available and widely disseminated information to see repeats of these sorts of debacles in the 21st century. Not that mistakes won't continue to happen, but they will not be repeated to the same degree, on the same level, and based on the same sort of want for quality information about European players.
