For the Flames, Matthew Phillips and Adam Fox look to be exceeding their draft position expectancy.

Falkovsky is a wildcard.

Carter Hart is looking very good. He has a 0.928 save %, his backup goalie has a 0.896, so it's not like the team in front of him is substantially boosting his numbers. Goalies are tough to judge in the CHL though to be fair, but he's definitely trending in a very good direction.

He was the first goalie picked in the draft. Not sure how he could be a steal.

Victor Mete (100th pick) is looking like an absolute steal for the habs, the whole board couldn't be happier with how he's turning out.
Haven't seen him play personally but told he's now a no brainer to make the NHL, somewhat undersized but fearless, an elite skater with extremely good hockey sense and a good accurate point shot. He's now considered the overall #1 Dman in London even above top pick Olli Juolevi.

Claimed that he would be the best value knight if he was picked anywhere from the second on, was laughed at. Kid's got "it". Didn't show last year because Juolevi was the better PP "facilitator" on that All-star team, but you could tell Mete was going to carry the mail once Marner was gone.

Hell of a pick by the Habs

Chychrun is going to be the biggest steal of the draft. It blows my mind still how he fell that far. There are going to be a lot of teams kicking themselves on him.

Taylor Raddysh.

Look at his stats (leads OHL in assists, 2nd in points to linemate Debrincat in fewer games, does not come with the size question mark like Debrincat)

Very encouraged by Tage Thompson and Jordan Kyrou. Both are exceeding their draft expectations at this point. Look like top 6 players so far.
