One thing I like (and the Oilers have kind of moved towards in the past handful of years): late draft picks who commit to the NCAA (or stay in Europe). Doing so gives the team a couple extra years to retain their rights without an ELC. These are long-term prospects, so that extra 2 years gives you a better idea of how they have developed & what kind of prospect you actually have.

You *should* be able to make a better informed decision later on in their development and, at least in theory, end up with fewer disappointing prospects on ELCs taking one of the 50 contracts (though even still, Nolan Vesey and Colin Larkin got ELCs... but in THEORY they should be able to better predict the prospect's future potential with a few more years of proof).
