Drafted in 2018. Guess how many guys were drafted with a bottom 10 1st who are better from 2017 to 2019? It's a short list. 2 players. K'Andre Miller and Jake Oettinger. 2 out of 30.
If you're judging Pospisil by goals then it's abundantly clear you don't know who he is. He's a defensive savant and a top 5 irritant in the league. He's a missile on the forecheck. How would you feel about a physical, nasty Lekhonen? That's Pospisil. He'll add 15 goals minimum this year too. The coaching staff is playing him with our 10.5 Million dollar failure of a winger because they are hoping POSPISIL can help HUBERDEAU to be useful.
You left a LOT of guys out.
In terms of games played in the NHL as a basic look:
7/10 in 2018 have him beat
9/10 in 2017 have him beat
4/10 in 2019 have him beat
To say he's better than Rasmus Sandin or Morgan Frost is wild.
Also a disgusting way to value assets, by that logic of "well late 1sts only have a so and so % chance of becoming NHLers" every single NHLer in the league would be worth a 1st.
