I’m incredibly amused that the two 4th round picks the Leafs own going into this draft — which as of now would only be six spots apart — are somehow not ranked one after the other. Hopefully Jesper Lindgren is as adept at breaking up carry ins!
Katya’s piece on Vegas’ 4th round pick covers some of the reasons why we included and ranked draft picks rather than just players where we already know who they are. I want to go along those same lines with this piece.
As Katya pointed out, it’s not really surprising that a 4th round pick didn’t wind up being ranked very well.
