[QUOTE=PepsiFree;9396195]Seems pretty silly to make this conclusion when Levshunov has played more professional games that almost any other prospect in the draft. I’d say anyone making conclusions this early lacks the skills.
Let’s see how everyone looks after they’re all playing pro. Not comparing 19 year olds playing against 16-18 year olds and 19 year olds playing against 20-35 year olds.”
It's not unreasonable to think that some people have a sharp eye for talent while others may lack this ability. It's surprising to suggest that someone can't distinguish a talented player from one who isn't. After all, this is precisely why there are good scouts and bad scouts in hockey. This disparity in talent recognition is exactly why some teams excel at identifying skilled players, while others struggle in this area.
I think it would be a interesting idea for the 2025 draft and the future drafts to put each of our talent evaluating reputations on the line assessing first rounders in this class and future classes and seeing how each of our picks turn out a few years down the road.
