Giving teams grades on their draft when there are no real objective measures necessarily means the results are assumption-based and subjective. I have my personal preferences, things that I emphasize when I look at players and their potential. They are not always correct by any stretch. However there are some things that just seem to ring true of all good NHL players. They have good hands. Their work ethic is unquestioned. These players have that "it factor", the hockey sense, that undefinable characteristic falling under the category of, "you know it when you see it". Skating doesn't have to be excellent, but it does have to be adequate.
