No it hasn't.
10/30 USA
11/30 CAN
8 from the US development league is pretty incredible.

Boston goes for the 6'4 skilled winger. Safe pick

To be fair, we would be booing TB for something similar from a further back era.

Not counting overagers, yes. But so was Rasmus Andersson.

The Hockey News, had a quote from a scout saying that his consistency needs to improve. I have heard it on a few other occasions.

Lavoie falling doesn't surprise me. He's 6 months older, 4 inches taller, and 20 pounds heavier than his peers yet barely surpassed point-per-game in the OHL. Teams are getting wise to that trap. He'll be a solid third liner.
Edit: League should be QMJHL as pointed out.

If you hit on a solid 3rd liner with a late first round pick, you should be happy.

Top guys from Bob's list
19: Lavoie
21: Kaliyev
25: Robertson
26: Brink
29: Vlasic
After about 20 the draft became as hard to predict as they said it would be.
3 guys that there were some rumors of the Flames liking are still available: Robertson, Brink and Leason.

It's been happening for a few years now, but it feels weird as hell watching kids get drafted that also have fathers that you remember getting drafted.
Yes, I'm getting old.

He plays in the QMJHL, which makes me think you haven't seen him play. Too much is made of that six months. I remember Travis Zajac getting knocked for being older, so we picked his younger BCHL teammate Kris Chucko. Look how that turned out.

You can find 3rd liners on the waiver wire...swing for the fences

Not good ones. Waiver fodder are usually an extra or spare forward. You have problems if a player picked up on waivers is in your top nine. Just ask the Oilers. Stars need to align a bit to get a home run on waivers.

I hope they find a way to get Robertson. Seems like a Bouwmeester type guy (not as epic a skater but similar idea). Kind of guy you draft and have on your team for years for a decent AAV because he isn't a huge scorer but great WAR type impact.
