Maybe this has been mentioned before but something to consider is that all the data, models, and comparibles on draft -1 seasons in the past might not be accurate as of this season. With the NCAA rule changes, its clear their has been a talent migration from the CHL to the NCAA. Making direct comparisons in numbers between previous NCAA players draft seasons and this upcoming crop might not tell the whole story.
I am curious about some of the draft modelling based on NHLe and how their might be some adjustment time needed as the league talent pools rebalance.
