I don't know, but I would love to see it. From what I recall, Jarome Iginla was a riser and in a redraft that year, he'd be the 1st overall pick pretty easily I think. Another one was Marian Hossa. When Ottawa took him, it was seen as a little off the board, but I remember them justifying it by saying he was on the rise. That's just anecdotal and I would love to see something more in depth. That was like a generation ago as well. I think scouting has generally become better since then.
