While true that we'll still get a good player, I don't think its necessarily because they are all exceptional talents, but more because there aren't necessarily any guys who stand out as clear-cut no-brainer elite prospects. I think this year is more akin to the 2012 draft (Yakupov/Murray/Galchenyuk year) than what we saw in 2013 (where there were 3-4 guys who could've easily gone as #1's in any other year). 2013 everyone was fighting over 9's, while this year we are trying to decide between 8's.
