I think the reason you believe there are as many as 5 elite players in this draft is because of the repetition factor. Time will tell how good this draft is, but it is unlikely you get 5 elite talents out of this draft. Hopefully for the Flames, drafting at #4, your projection is right.

A mediocre draft doesn't necessarily mean that the top end is crappy. It can mean that the depth drops off rapidly and the players in the 11-30 range are much worse than in deeper years.
The top end looks decent in this draft. No generational talents or superstars but there looks to be 1st line talent for sure.
