You might be on to something here.. That could be but I'm pretty sure the Leafs would bring them in for development training.Bender said:

There?s a school of thought that believes the younger potential draftees are undervalued because they?re further behind on the development curve.

They certainly stocked the cupboards today. Hopefully, there?s some gems in there.

Added this table to the OP. Wyatt definitely got the booty.
I wasn't sure about Fusco and Tverberg's originating league. They committed to NCAA programs for this season, but are coming out of USHS and OJHL respectively. Either way, there is lots of runway for every pick except Villeneuve (CHL agreement) before they need an ELC tendered or we lose their rights. 7 of our picks are actively playing right now (KHL, Liiga) and the KHL kids are getting more of an opportunity than usual because of the periodic sweeps of COVID exposure that pushes vets into quarantine.
Height and weight measurements might be out of date as there was no draft combine this year. Also, 18 year olds continue to grow into the early 20s. Smaller players excelling currently have room to get even better as they add reach and strength. Players that start big and have that advantage in junior leagues potentially don't translate their skills when everyone else is the same size.
