In the last ten years, Brady Tkachuk, Quinn Hughes, Ryan Poehling, Kyle Connor, Colin White, Brock Boeser, Jack Roslovic, Michael McCarron, Jacob Trouba and Tyler Biggs have all been drafted by Canadian teams out of either the USHL or NCAA in the first round. Not a single one of these players have played out their full four years of college eligibility, and every one was signed by his drafting team.

True, it's more an issue with late bloomer (most players selected in the 2nd round or later).
Based on what some people are saying about the 2021 draft though, I am not sure that some of those 1st rounders won't be late bloomers as well. Seems like a waek draft overall.
