Ok I mean by that logic, Vegas hasn't drafted a bust with any of their picks in any round because they all still have a chance to be NHL players.
how do you deduct this from that post?
look at the history of pick #18, then consider he is only 20 years old (which is really young for Dmen) and had roughly half a year of development stalled due to a torn meniscus. I didn't even say he's not a bust, i said it's TBD since he hasn't had a chance to showcase what he is at the pro-level yet (
or if he even makes it - which he is still super young for Dman). But given where he was drafted, if he's a bottom pairing Dman that's not terrible given his draft position.
As for VGK, if a player from rounds 2 and lower dont make the NHL dont think they should be considered a bust, they were long shots to make the NHL from the get-go.... If Cody Glass doesn't make the NHL being a 6th overall pick in 2017 id say that's a bust. It's relative to where they were taken.
