I remember everyone being shocked by the McIlrath pick. Nobody had him in the top 10, especially ahead of Fowler. I have no idea what the Rangers were thinking there.Development is not linear, you have to make projections. Sometimes those are wrong.
Haydn Fleury was drafted 7th overall and is a 7th D journeyman.
Griffin Reinhart never played a full season on a NHL roster as a 4th overall.
Slater Koekkoek didn't do much as a 10th overall.
Same with Duncan Siemens as 11th overall.
Dylan McIlrath and his 7 career points were drafted 10th overall, two picks before Cam Fowler.
Still time to turn it around, but Victor Soderstrom isn't looking like a great 11th overall.
