So? His evaluation was about the quantity of players who turned into NHLers from the later rounds. When evaluating a large number of draft picks of varying positions, our actual position matters very little. Once you get deep in the draft there is also very little consensus in rankings.Definitely true. But we certainly can tell who's better now from the same draft.
I understand that you left the 1st rounders out but they are still in the 6th spot in every round... that's what I meant by that. Essentially their average 2nd round pick those years was about 5 spots lower than our average first pick....and so on and so on. NJ was picking 15 to 25 spots after them in every round.
