I hate this team
There is no issue if someone wanted Abramov over Allison at #52. But so far, both have played well in their draft +1 season.
It's not like Abramov's season is a surprise. He was a top scorer last year as well:
2016: 93 points in 63 games
2017: 101 points in 64 games
So he has 8 more points in 1 more game his year. Not a big uptick, just a year older/better.
Maybe there is a reason why GM's felt he was not worth spending a 2nd rounder on even though he was 5th in QMJHL scoring as a 17 year old rookie.
Time will tell if they were right or wrong....just like in Allison's case.
