So how many players like Corey Locke and Robbie Schremp pass the stat test but fail the eye test?
A lot.
We can literally spend all day naming examples and counterexamples on both sides. It is an utterly futile endeavour.

And in Pettersson's case literally zero of the comparable U20 SHL players didn't become impactful NHL players.
This is the better way to fill the age gap if that's the goal.Keeper is a freshman and Poolman is a sophomore. I'm sure they'll quit college for a NHL contract. Poolman's stats are up there with guys like Krys and Fabbro while Keeper's are closer to guys like Ferraro, Ahcan and Reilly Walsh. Not bad stats and they both got size (6'1 and 6'2) with high PIM. Interesting players.

Casey Mittelstadt deciding right now with his family whether or not to come out of NCAA Minnesota after only one college season and a great WJCs and sign with the Sabres right now and burn the 1st year of his ELC and then try to make team USA's roster for the World Cup. His alternative option is to go back to college next year. Buffalo feels he is ready for the NHL.
Not hockey related but Joe LaBate has been streaming on twitch and its not half bad. He plays Fortnite with guys like Megna, Chaput, MacEwen, and Joe Morrow
That was my point.
There's enough examples both ways to show that neither the eye test or stats "prove" anything...so there's room to use both for guidance.
I am quite confident that i can make picks based on stats and not perform worse than any sort of standard you could come up with.
Then do it. Have you been posting in the link where you make your picks on the day of the draft?
I will this year.
Excited to see your picks too.
Yeah nice to see. Hes been getting a few 1st stars lately and nice to see 7th round pick Brassard keeps on scoringIt looks like DiPietro single handedly won that game for Windsor (and got help from the other goalie too).

I mean he won Defenceman of the Year just for Oshawa not the OHL and he's the only drafted defenceman on the team.
