Brad Marchand Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Can't judge which players will be best based on who made it to the NHL first. For example, both Horvat and Domi made their NHL debuts after Nichushkin and no one on Earth would pick Nichushkin over either one of them right now.

Wilbur Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Sometimes the best of a draft class aren't the best at age 18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butters Stoch Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I'm guessing you've just started watching hockey recently. 2-3 months after the draft a little early to start judging how good prospects will turn out. I'm pretty impatient myself, but I'd still give at about 2 years before I start criticizing; and then there are the optimists who refuse to accept that some players are busts until they reach the "could be a late bloomer" age of at least 25.

ynwa Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Aside from the Lemieux, Crosbys, McDavids etc. there is NO WAY you can judge a draft pick accurately for the first couple of years—look at all the late picks that have turned out to be stars, Datsyuk, Benn, Lundqvist, Pavelski and lots more. It takes time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
