So you draft a player and then he literally becomes one of the best goalies in junior, wins a world a memorial cup then drags his depleted team the next year to the third round.
That's a good draft pick.
Any second rounder that plays like a first rounder in the two years after being drafted is a good pick.
Brendl didn't improve at all after getting drafted.
