Yup - it's getting easier to predict which guys it will be every season that will get taken in the 2nd - 4th round and then will blow up in value post draft because of their talent.
2022: Hutson
2021: Zellweger, Stankoven (Right Scorp?), Pastujov
2020: Lukas Cormier, Luke Evangelista
2019: N.Robertson, Dorofeyev, Maccelli
And honestly it's not just hindsight. If you go look back at past draft threads I know I personally really liked all of Hutson, Zellweger, Maccelli, and Pastujov. Think I actually drafted Maccelli in the CPHL draft!
