I should add that I'm not necessarily advocating for Jiricek. I just don't think he should be written off at 14 as a reach or future flop or anything. It's not the same thing, but it's similar to how Musty fell when he missed time (and then wasn't himself) after getting mono in his draft year.
Same thing goes for Solberg, who's having his coming out party now, but because he was ranked lower throughout this year, his ascension may be capped at the mid-teens. I might actually be more interested in him at 14 (I'd be surprised at this point if he falls into the 20s, which hurts my plan of trading 33 and 42 for a third 1st to take Solberg there).
Solberg's ascension for this draft might be capped in the teens, but the real trick is trying to project beyond that. If it continues, in a year will he be talked about as a top 10 or top five talent? So while at the moment he might feel like a reach, that's not a guarantee he will still be in a year or three or five.
As an amusing side note, I was rooting around for some early 2023 prospect rankings and found Pronman's from June of 2022. In it, Halttunen was ranked at 6, while Carlsson was 15 and Smith 17. Funny how these things go.
