Against, I wouldnt put Nictox in the lump of Joe K and TML just yet. Also St louis has not been the best class of the SMJHL in recent seasons. in S47, Anahiem, Lethbridge, Kelowna has better draft classes respectivly. in S46 Halifax and Kelowna had the better draft class to date, drafting more players and having a higher average TPE. In S45 its both Kelowna and St Louis that had great draft classes
In S44 Detroit and Halifax had the better draft classes. in S43 Vancouver, St Louis and Anchorage had the best draft classes so far.

So yes St Louis have drafted some great players, but season by season they arent the best. Id argue that Halifax and Kelowna had some great draft classes in the past 5 seasons, along with Vancouver and St Louis with Vancouver going more of the 1st gen route, getting high activity from them, and St louis is always solid in that department.

Foragainst?
I wasn't talking about drafting per se. I was saying the team has been the class of the SMJHL production and results wise. However, I agree with the solid first gen drafting from STL. They've hit on a lot of them recently.
