If Keller was Kane he wouldn't be eligible for this draft because he'd be 17 not 18 on Sept 15th and plays USNTDP not OHL.
Not just my opinion. Where is Keller on Bob Mackenzie's list (and thus the lists of 10 real NHL scouts)? Where is Keller on Redline's list? Redline often loves small skilled players, they had Hudler top 10 in his draft year. Real scouts had Kane rated 1st in his draft year and real scouts have Keller as a fringe top 10 pick this year. There's a difference.

Jake Bean has game breaking offensive skill from the backend if that's what you're looking for from this draft. Fabbro has fantastic puck moving and powerplay abilities. There's defencemen of every single type in this draft class.

Keller isn't Kane, if he was he'd be a consensus top 5 pick this year and he isn't.
