Or maybe you're are missing the obvious? In the years leading up to this draft it was well regarded as a poor draft year, especially in comparison to last. But as this draft came closer the hype continued to build to where it appeared there were four franchise level players available, when in fact there were none predicted the year prior. Are the top four good prospects? Yes. Are they franchise level players? No. Not based on the information before the hype wagon kicked into hyper-drive. Anyone expecting a franchise level player from this draft is likely in for a big disappointment, and that was from the credible hockey sources who do not establish their reputation by building hype over draft picks. I think expectations are set way too high, because of the hype, and we should wait and see what these kids do from this point on.
