This is a great thread!

I do think this year is going to be quite skewed however. I watched Makar during his draft year, and if he was playing during this shortened AJHL season, he would not have climbed up the draft rankings the way he did. Because of this, I believe it will be a great year for teams to find gems in every round of the draft.

On the flip side, I also think there may be more busts in the first rounds.

Here is a snippet from an article 8 games into the 2016-17 season:
BROOKS, AB (October 4, 2016) – "Brooks Bandits defenceman Cale Makar (Calgary, AB) has been named to the NHL Central Scouting Players to Watch List as a “B”-rated, or 2nd – 3rd round, prospect, it was announced today."
