It's not the norm for first rounders overall but it is usually the norm for players taken in the top 3 spots. If we're drafting top 2 that player is NHL ready. Puljujarvi would probably make the team as well but you do have the option of starting him in the AHL.
So the lottery may very well determine if we get an NHL ready guy this draft or not.
