25363.855%

If you’re drafted in the top 3 rounds , I’d say you have better than a 50% chance of sticking. After that, you’ll probably be playing at some junior level for a year or 2.
U18 will most likely be for the kids who went at the bottom of the draft.

You’ll stick if you’re drafted in the first round. After that it’s anyone’s guess based on the teams needs

This is a weak draft class compared to previous years. No real standouts or players that have been consistent game in and game out. Scouts are noticing several flaws in the top kids available. There’s a lot of head scratching going on.

I think it’s like this in every year. Last years draft class had its flaws as well. Every kid needs to develop at this age. It’s the kids that aren’t showing the effort that becomes a concern.

Last year there were 5 kids that were clear cut studs. I don’t think you can say that for this years group. There’s no Beltchez , Valentini or Maholtra in this current group.

You are comparing apples to oranges.

I am sure a U16 line of Murata-Delisle-Warren for more than hold their weight against a U16 line of Beltchez-Valentini-Maholtra

Maybe last year's age group was weaker overall and easier to stand out against. If the overall level is higher this year, maybe the difference between the top few and the top 20 isn't as big as it was last year but that doesn't mean to top few are less skilled.

That ‘08 line would destroy the ‘09 line!

Murata is inconsistent
Delisle would likely be suspended
Warren’s a runt.

Not even close at all. What a bad comparison. When you make this comparison you realize the 09 group isn’t what 09 parents think it is.

Many ‘09 parents are delusional and in for a big wake up call!

I’ve seen a lot of hockey parents hit with a dose of reality when they realize their “superstar” kid isn’t quite AAA material. Some accept it and move on, but others keep chasing the dream like it’s still within reach. My Christmas wish for those parents: maybe pick up a hobby or find something you enjoy that isn’t living through your kid’s hockey career. Santa can’t grant NHL contracts!
