I like to use huggie bear as an example. He was NHL ready for that team, but would never be an impact NHLer. I like the example of Kulak and Andersson. Kulak was probably more NHL ready last season, but i think it could be argued that Andersson was left down to further develop. If he hits his developmental milestones they think he can, he will be a more impactful NHLer hands down.

At the end of the day I see this as prospect list that are valuable to the organization taking those steps forward. Which is no surprise why first rounders tend to hold a bit more weight out of the gate.
