I'm curious to know how many franchise players are drafted outside of the top 15 in FHM. It feels like it's much harder to draft top 10 positional players outside of having a high pick. The Kucherov/Weber/Chara/Stone type of picks don't seem to exist, or at least not that I am noticing.

Yeah, I agree. Hockey prospect evaluation is a lot more nuanced than can be accounted for but I still get tempted into it with things like this for fun. If you've got some criteria that you'd like to define for what constitutes a franchise player in FHM I can try to take a look and query the dataset to see if anyones in there that matches....just from memory one of the guys who was in the top 5 points scored was drafted at like 3.12 I think, that was the biggest surprise I noticed at the top.
