Seems most of their players are 21 or 22 by time they make the team and no different than guys finishing up their junior careers. No significant over-cooking like the narrative suggests.

I'm on board with your point (obviously, as I posted essentially the same thing) but I think your numbers are off by one year.
If a player is drafted in 2005, their Draft +1 year is 05-06, not 06-07.
