also your statistics do not do justice to drafting a D-man for the last 4 years.. A forward who does not make it to the NHL by 22 is almost done. A defense-man who does make it by 22 is a great pick. Forward will have a lot more games than a d-man.

Agreed on your first point, had that same thought. I broke the draft by first 60 picks to avoid the chaos of a moving 2nd round with compensation picks but the same idea
I think you have a point on dmen maturing slower, so that would be a factor for 2009-2013 drafts for sure. Less of an impact over the course of a career though.
