I've scouted each of the last 4 drafts including this one for the CPHL draft (I'm a bit overly thorough for a sim hockey league), and overall, the abilities shown by this group is better than last year, and by decent margin. A combination of the 2008 and 2010 drafts would be the closest comparison to this one. There are a similar group of defensemen as there were in the Doughty draft (albeit slightly worse as a group) and there are a similar group of quality forwards in the 2010 draft.
The guys that are in the 20's to the 60's are about the same as the 2010 draft where there was a few really decent guys. I haven't seen every player rated in that range, but the ones I have seen are in the same ballpark as the ones I watched when scouting that draft.
