GM's talk, they can probably get a feel for who each team likes, doesn't like etc. We've seen examples of this play out on draft floors before. Burke talking to Ottawa's Bryan Murray about Kadri springs immediately to mind.

Then that's your own speculation. I'll take Feaster and Weisbrod for their words, over your own theory.
So when they get a feel for who likes who, are they not creating relative rankings? It's how they determine how far to move up and down in drafts to get a prospect. If they knew Jankowski was coveted by the teams picking at 12 and 10 let's say, they're not going to trade up to 3rd overall to secure him, but instead 8 or 9 because that's what they deem his relative worth to be amongst given the information at hand to the rest of the league. That's what my definition is of "the board."
