Horvat, Mueller and Lazar were drafted too high, but not McCarron. Yup, it's a Habs fan.

Ill ignore everything other than the Undrafted list, since this is really early.

Connor Rankin is the one that really sticks out to me. Anyone have insight into why he wasn't worth a pick?

TSN had him at 18th
Ryan Kennedy 11th
Sportsnet 11th
Hockey Prospect 21st
ISS 12th
McKeen's 12th
FC 17th

Because, clearly, this poster in particular feels that he should have picked even lower than where he was actually drafted.

What a radical concept.


And seeing as it lacked any explanation, justification, or elaboration, it also ends up being a fairly useless concept

This is the same poster who makes mock drafts AFTER the draft.

From early reports, Andreas Johnson (leafs 7th round pick) is gonna be a good one. already 4pts in 3 preseason games for his swedish senior team

That fact that you put guys like Horvat and Lazar too high when a player like McCarron, who might miraculously break the 2nd line at one point in his career, is kind of a joke to be honest.

This could be one of the worst assumptions I've ever seen given the time that's elapsed since the draft

Habs fans are the worst when it comes to removing homer goggles

Firstly, Kyle Platzer was drafted from the London Knights of the OHL, not WHL.

Secondly, Tyler Hill should be on the undrafted list IMO. Big guy like that is at least worth a 7th round gamble.

I really don't want to be critical because everyone deserves to have their own opinion. But its extremely difficult to evaluate this a couple months after the draft. And in terms of being "too high", each team has their own list of who they want, and in the order they want them in. The NHL teams aren't looking for guys now but who will have impact at the peak of their careers. They are also looking for players that fit into the mold of their roster.

Santini too high? 2013 iihf worlds u18 best defensive player too high at 42? Where oh wise one should he have gone lol. I think he is a steal especially after camp for 20's jeez. That is the biggest one to me. Yet dont agree with hardly anything you said well actually disagree with all of it.
