If they're making good progress on where they were last year, then in my books they're doing great. That can go sideways at any point.
McDonald's GAA has dropped by 0.40 this year
Hickey is 9th in Defensemen scoring by players under the age of 21 in the NCAA and only Werenski and Hanifin are younger than him (both expected to be top 8 picks this year)
Smith already matched his goal output in 27 less games. Has only 10 points to go to exceed his point totals.
That's what you're hoping for when you're making picks outside the first round. Whether they can make the next steps is tbd.
