And the #1 Pick Goes To...

Is it just me or do today's top draft picks -- Conor McDavid aside perhaps -- seem to be 0.5 goals per game types, whereas 20-40 years ago the top guys were all over 1 goal per game and sometimes even more ? I seem to recall that Gretzky, Lemiux, and Lindross, Hull, etc....all had much higher offensive stats than today.

 

I realize it was a different game and era then but still.

 

Anyway, I'm thrilled with the #2 overall pick. I'm actually hoping we get KK, I'm not sold on overachieving American players. Wondering if Hughes is another Eichel.

Outside of Crosby......we havent seen any players near the skill of those mentioned above with the exception of Ovechkin to Hull
