I think once you gets into the 20s it's almost impossible to compare draft to draft - the strength of a draft is set at the top end.

I’ll take your word on the D prospects as I hope that is true with the flames pick. Losing as much of our D core as we expect to trade away, getting a blue chip prospect would be a major step.
What draft would be an average draft year for top end talent then? Do you feel the top end is akin to these years?
