Initial disclaimer before you start reading this: this is going to be a very long article. Grab yourselves a snack and/or a coffee and brace yourselves.
Rather than talking about a single prospect today, I am going to be dedicating this article to providing an analytical perspective on a large sample of 2017 draft eligible CHL and USHL prospects, both ranked and unranked. While discussing which prospect the Red Wings should take in the first round (and even the second round) is great, as you know, there are seven rounds in this draft, and the Wings just happen to have 11 picks this year.
