Draft comparision -Wisborg Donuts

 Draft comparision -Wisborg Donuts

The NHL draft has just about finished and it is time to see how the blind draft went for Wisborg Donuts.

Lucas Raymond- a bit surprisingly Byfield fell into the hands of Fort Erie when Stutzle and Raymond was pushed up a notch and taken as number 3 in CCHL. Lucas went as the more forecastered number 4 pick in NHL. So a pick later (+1) in NHL.

William Wallinder- was pick number 25 in the CCHL draft, while he fell to the top of the second round in the NHL So a draft postion at 25 was transformed to number 32 (+7).

Zion Nybeck- was picked with number 47 in the CCHL draft while he fell massively in the NHL to number 115. The explanation is probably more size related than talent related. Time will tell who was correct but a diffenrence of +68 picks.

Calle Clang- was chosen by Donuts at pick 113 but the NHL teams where more positive to his skill set and picked him at number 77. So the first player so far that was a bargain for Donuts, at -36 picks.

Oskar Mangusson- picked as number 135 by Donuts in CCHL but fell pick 211 by the hands of the NHL teams. So another +76 picks later.

Leo Loof- went as number 157th pick in the CCHL draft but the turned out to be a bargain in comparision to the NHL as he was picked already at slot 88. So a solid -69 slot bargain for me!

The four last players picked by Donuts where not favoured by the NHL gods and was left undrafted and can't be in this comparison.

So out of the 6 players 2 turned out to be bargains for Donuts while 4 could have been waited on if the NHL bosses are correct. But I can see both Lucas and William taken in the right range and would I have waited with them for my next pick, they would probably be off the board. Trying to weigh in the first picks as most important the big miscalculation on the Donuts is Zion Nybeck who went a lot later than expected and far later than projected by all scouting services. All in all I lost 47 draft positions compared to the NHL draft. But who says the NHL GMs are right anyway....
