FHM2014 Tests

In light of a the rookie progression thread, I'm just going to do a little test here. Here are the players drafted in the top two rounds of a test league I have with potential less than 6.0. I have a 10 scouts with excellent evaluate potential, 6 with great, 2 with very good, 3 with good, 1 with average, and 1 with below average. Year is currently 2025.

Drew McPhee, C, 13th overall, 3.0a/3.5a, 733/703
Nikolai Poplavsky, LW, 18th overall, 4.5a/4,5a, 758/727
Dave McLaughin, RW, 23rd overall, 5.5a/5.5a, 742/699
Kent Sealey, LW, 28th overall, 3.5/5.0a, 720/654
Marc Martizes, LD, 46th overall, 5.5a/5.5a, 633/662
Taylor Ripley, LD, 60th overall, 5.5a/5.5a, 604/637

It sure seems draft position is a better indicator of potential than my scouts projections. It seems for the first rounders, my scouts were wrong on all these players - everyone they thought sucked was actually good.

I'm going to continue updating these players, as well as new players my scouts think sucked in this thread as I sim over the next 5-10 years or so.I am going to automate all my teams activities.

I was lying in bed last night and thinking about this (seriously, I was), and I have a couple questions that might help me firm up a theory I have about this... When these players were generated, what leagues were they generated in? For the North Americans in particular, were they Junior B/C/D/Midget/Bantam? You should be able to find out by checking their Career Stats.
