What does where a guy is drafted have to do with fans opinions?
And what have those guys done at the NHL level to prove they were drafted low?
Patrick was tiny but talented he went first, Gagner pretty small the same year but went 5th. Small can still go high but they have to show a reason to take them that high.
What hurts a guys draft standing more than anything is looking like he can't play in the NHL. Big or small, no matter what stats you put up at the junior level if guys don't think you can translate that to the NHL level you will drop.
