Lupul was drafted 7th, Nylander 8th. Suddenly, with no games played by anyone, he's now number 4 of all prospects, nevermind his own draft. Good logic there
So ESPN, the same ESPN that picked the Leafs the worst franchise in ALL of sports 3 days ago, is overrating Nylander because they are Leaf fans (Based in the U.S).?

Damn Toronto media...

Seriously, can you point to anything other than ESPN saying Nylander is overrated? The media is not overrating him.

If anything, Kadri became underrated because the Leafs drafted him. He was considered a "Bust" by 19 by the Toronto media and Brayden Schenn, with worse stats (Drafted 2 spots earlier) was seen as a future star.
