2017 class vs 2016 class

How would that work though? Would there just not be an entry draft for a year to let that group of 18 year olds age a little more?

I think if you were to push it back, having a draft class of the leftover 19 and 20 year olds is not ideal, so you probably have to push it back over 3-4 years, moving the cut off date back 3-4 months each year.

I think we can all agree with the fact that we will not have a McDavid, Eichel or Matthews type of players. But I'm not sure the 2016 class is deaper than the 2017. It's really too soon.

Or Laine and Puljujarvi!!

In general, the 2017 draft class is going to be one year younger than the 2016 draft class.

I think Nolan Patrick and Timothy Liljegren are comparable prospect. Laine is special thought.

The WHL crop in the 2017 draft is looking like the best it's been in a few years, headlined by Nolan Patrick. Should be interesting
