There are 100 junior players for every one that makes the NHL.
It is so hard to get the slightest level of comperhension here.
I think some posters realize what Im trying to say and just want to be difficult. The rest are just so stupid it isn't worth the time or effort.
So... wait. We don't see there's a correlation between stats and position in the draft. You do. We are either so bored we want to be difficult for the sake of being difficult, or we're so stupid we can't grasp what you are obviously reaching for, and thus not worth the time or effort?
The TWO reasons Blake Wheeler was selected was because of his size and upside. The same TWO reasons Valabik was selected was because of his size and upside. They BOTH went higher than most projected, and Valabik's stats sucked, plain and simple.
If there is one scout who uses stats to weigh in a player's worth, more than his potential and what he brings to the team, then that scout should be looking for another job.
Either way... I'm so sorry for being difficult and/or stupid. I often have this wild notion that I'm free to think what I want and, per board policy, am free to voice my thoughts as long as I don't violate the Terms of Use. In the future I will just copy a post someone else wrote that you've already responded to, and post it again with the hopes it'll enlighten you.
