This!
In the top three rounds i think you stick pretty close to your list and draft lists. By the time your at the bottom of the third your picking on your educated guesses and probably some gut instinct. I think this is where one scout or another going hey we really need to get this guy should be listened to.
As always i look at what the player is in context. Good size, good skater, has some scoring ability, leading his league. Not sure what people expect by round four?
