In 2020 Draft, 61 defensemen got drafted, Ryker was not one of them.
Not that Ryker destroyed the WHL in his draft season; but at least he did score decent numbers
Ryker scored 7 goals and 31 points with 81 penalty minutes in 63 games.
From 2020 Draft eligible d-men who got drafted, over half* who weren't better, were much worse what Ryker at their 19-20 draft seasons
or if was better, only marginally --- and i know that points are not everything but still, there were many that didn't deserve
to get drafted over Ryker Evans in 2020. (from all rounds)
In 2021 Draft, when he did got drafted, from defensemen he went 10th
* i checked every eligible player and started to make a list but it took too long, so i deleted it.
