Draft List Info.

Just have a comment/question towards the point predictions for the 500 player draft list.

Don't you think its kind fo misleading that there are around 250 players in the list with over 40 points and then in actuality in the NHL last season there were only 150 players with over 40 points?

Just wondering.

Quality observation. I try faithfully to keep my own rankings realistic, yet when it comes down to it, I know I come in high. Every magazine out there comes in high. You've achieved the most important element in this discussion though, a tentativeness to believe what you read. I swear there are those out there that think that scoring will be twice as high in the future. That there will be twice as many stars in the future. I have youngsters on my roster Filatov, Oshie, Doughty, Brassard, S. Mason. To actually believe that all five will one day become roster players, well that's is fabulously naive. In all probability I'll move four of the five along before they become roster worthy. Someone else in the pool will play on the sentiments that they are going to become something invaluable. In exchange I'll get at least two roster players. One of these puppies may make me wish I'd hung onto them. Not too much though, as long as I'm racing at the top of the heap.

You'd probably be wise to knock 10% off all the predictions. Then there would actually be a similar number of goals in the projection magazine as will be scored this coming year. The only rebuff I can see the magazines having is that there will be injuries. This helps bring their predictions a little closer to true, as a number of players get their numbers crushed by missing many games.
