I'm not a fan of how he graded teams. He graded on the haul rather than how well they drafted. The grade should be on how well you drafted The trades you made. Grabbing the fallers, avoiding the reaches. Carolina had a really good draft in that way. They got a lot of the fallers. Obviously if a team doesn't have a 1st round pick, the haul will be hurt, but that doesn't mean the team can't have an A draft. Rangers got the best player available, a player most would consider a franchise-altering player if not generational. Of course their haul is going to be better than pretty much anyone sans Ottawa because they got two top 5 picks and LA because some think Byfield has the potential to be even better than Laf combined with the fact Byfield is one of the youngest players in the draft and Laf is one of the oldest and Byfield plays the more important position. So it puts certain teams at an inherent disadvantage.

Rangers did well, but he even admitted Laf was a huge reason for that. I can't really take a list like that too seriously.

You can look at it both ways. Bottom line is how many players that you drafted are going to make an impact in NHL so both quality and quantity count. The Rangers just drafted a potential franchise player plus another 2-3 guys NHL caliber guys. Too bad for the teams that didn't have a good draft whether it was do to lack of quality or quantity of picks.
