The lack of quality of the top of that draft class was way overblown. Going to be a lot of good players coming out of that top 10.
That's always how it goes. Every draft that claims to be weak in hindsight always ends up being a strong draft. People need to get over the narrative that just because there isn't a guaranteed #1 guy, it makes the draft weak. Look at 2017. People said weak draft yet out of that weak draft we have a potential generational d-man in Makar, a top line two way center in Nico, Petterson who is another top line center, Heiskanan who is one of the best d men in the league. Plus a million other names. The only one who was a straight up disappointment is Nolan Patrick. That's as good as it gets. This year will be no exception.
