So you’re saying that the more uncertainty you face, the more you should bet that you know the right pick to make? Riiiiiiight.
Tell you what: Lanny made most of the argument for my position in post #1784 above. I didn't think it was necessary to repeat the whole thing to show that I'm not an idiot. Why don't you go and argue with him?

Well you're taking those quotes way out of context. No one anywhere is denying there's a lack of talent the like of McDavid or Lafreniere or even a Jack Hughes. But that's what they mean, there's no super stud at the tippy top of the Draft. Outside of the top 5 it's like any other draft. The uncertainty lies at the bottom half of the first round. This is where you'll see more over agers go than usual because they have a better read on them. That's why the 2nd round picks will be more valuable.
At least according to Tod Button.
So yeah, saying there's very little talent is a pretty disingenuous opinion. Especially if the information you're using is out of context.
