Originally, this was supposed to be a weak draft. Is that still the case or did the emergence of some players (e.g., Iginla, Silayev) improve the outlook a bit.

It's a weaker draft in that there isn't a consensus top half of the 1st round. It's pretty much Celebrini and Demidov and then 3 -15 in my humble estimation. There's going to be some risers and fallers.
After 15, I say it's wide open into the early 3rd.
When ppl talk about tiers, the lines are blurry this draft. Because I can also see players jump from the 20s into the top 15 as well. This is one draft where I don't think the teams lists are going to match with anything out there or with other teams.
