Pull three of the top defencemen out and ya it looks more average but im bullish on the top 7 or 8 defencemen. Add in four five high end forwards and ya you suddenly have a great top end draft.
Great point about the very top of the draft. This draft is pretty unique in how the top half of the first round is so tricky to project after the top 2-3, I don't really remember another like it. Most drafts have the clear cut "tiers" that were so used to hearing about, but haven't heard a lot of that outside of Celebrini and Demidov being the cream.
