The success of him, Connor and prior to this Gaudreau will definitely change opinions about prospects who come from the USHL but not from the USNDP program. Until recently there hasn't been many high profile guys from that league who were drafted out of it. The biggest names who went in the first round off the top of my head are Okposo and Girgenson's. I also think his skating may of scared teams off.
Also, 2015 was insanely deep, with a bunch of high-end talent coming from the CHL (particularly the OHL). I think he may have just got lost in the shuffle. He wasn't even the biggest oversight, at least he was consistently first round. Look at where Sebastian Aho was drafted, and where he is now (he was considered a massive reach by many early in the 2nd). Looking at the 2015 draft in retrospect, that while I think Boeser is clearly a top 15 prospect in the draft (I don't know where I'd place him off the top of my head, and am not going to try because of the disaster it could turn this thread into), outside of the Bruins picks I can't see many where that I can look at and wonder what the hell that team was thinking. At the moment I would probably rather have him than guys like Lawson Crouse, Thomas Chabot, Colin White, Svechnikov, Meier, etc but I can atleast see where those teams were coming from.
