Guys get picked late because they have gross flaws in their games. Yes, every now and then one of the hits, but late picks rarely turn into anything of consequence for good reasons. Do I hope that some of these guys pop? Hell yes. I place them on the depth chart and hope they surprise and jump ahead. But for the most part they continue to develop on their arc and never turn into anything. I figure that Zary, Pelletier, Kuznetsov, and Wolf have a future in a Flames' sweater. Francis is a guy that I'm getting a little more excited about. The rest? Wait and see. Hopeful, but try to remain grounded with the knowledge of going through that grind.

Why do you think anyone would go with your opinion which you call logical, over a data set model that evaluates the entire hockey population with a consistent lens?
I'm happy to discuss the problems with anyone's assumptions within a model, but I won't just dismiss it and follow your view on all things hockey.
I'm just glad things like analytics came along. It was tiresome arguing with you 15 years ago when there wasn't actual data to bring out and show you were barking up the wrong tree.
