Yeah but if you're drafting past 5th overall, you better get out your deck of Tarot Cards...
In ten years of drafting at those levels, we're statistically "likely" to pick up an all star player.

#5 sometimes gets you Brayden Schenn or Nino Niederreiter. Similar to what you said after #5, 5-10 looks pretty poop in most cases in years that have guys developed now. Brett Connolly, Granlund, Burmistrov, Scott Glennie, Paajarvi, Filatov, Hodgson, Zach Hammill. Some are decent to an extent, but poop numbers considering what we would want out of a top 10. To be fair, you've got your couture's, Voracheks and so on, but damn thats a lot of misses and i used strictly forwards, a lot of underwhelming D chosen as well. Not to mention, some years are just very underwhelming in general when looking back. Granted they're still all relatively young, but we all know the bait gets cut even when they're young.
