I really dont feel it is. I feel last year was. This year besides a select few options arent great
I feel guys like Tanev will go for great value while for Dumba its a 4th going back
Cause teams have scouts and analytics departments they know whose got the value and there be a good chunk of RD available this TDL
Tanev, Walker, Carrier, Lybushkin, EJ, Jokiharju, Peeke, Dumba, Boqvist, Barrie, etc.
I think it comes to specific styles/fits just as much as anything else. So I don't see it as a big "RHD market", I see it is 3 different markets:
Tanev, Walker are good two-way guys: Tanev more defensive, Walker more offensive: but they are good in all zones: not overly physical or PP QB types either. Alex Carrier is in this category but further down the tiers than those guys: same for EJ. Colton Parayko would be at (or near) the top depending upon if St. Louis would put him on the market and with retention.
The guys that add grit/sandpaper sometimes get valued more come playoff time: Savard, Lyubushkin, Dumba, Peeke. Especially if there is a team that feels they need that specific role player.
Jokiharju, Boqvist, Barrie (and Justin Schultz) fit a specific category of need: offensive puckmovers/PPQB types.
I've also wondered about Matt Roy in LAK; who I think they love but it is a position of strength and they need cap $ to add a goalie.
