Look at Dal Colle, he was projected to be a mid first give or take this year and if he continues on as he has thus far, he might possibly even go #1. McDavid is going to be the #1 next year unless a second Crosby calibre guy comes out of nowhere, but beyond that, who knows. It'll be easier to read about this time next year as you'll be able to see if there are any Dal Colle type guys that rise up to make the upper end depth better or if any of the Nylander types fall off. As it sits now though it should be about = to 2014 with the exception that there is going to be 1 star player in 15'.

Good point. Hall seemed to be the only one considered for first overall in his draft year (2010) when Seguin kind of came out of nowhere. How a guy can be so sure of a draft two years down the road is a bit questionable especially when talking about teenagers...(Not so much about McDavid being first overall, but the whole draft in general in saying it will be as good as the '03 draft).
