This is a very tough draft due to how the last year has affected the development of young players. I have this feeling that from the guys picked from 11 to 20, there will only be one guy that turns into a NHL contributor and the rest will become busts. It’s hard to know which one is the guy. I also feel like there will be a lot of busts in this draft and the best player will either be one of the goalies or be a guy taken in the 3rd round.

A great example of this confusing draft is Sillinger vs Coronato. Why is Sillinger usually ranked higher than Coronato considering the season coronato had in the USHL compared to Sillinger? Is it just because of the powerhouse team that Coronato played for? When I read descriptions and watch highlights, coronato seems like the better player but Sillinger is the more highly touted prospect. Why? Honestly would love a more knowledgeable comparison of the two. Can’t shake the feeling that coronato is going to be the yamamoto/Debrincat type player to come out of this draft - a guy that’s picked outside the top 20 but turns into a top six forward in the NHL pretty quickly.
