I'd take Tarasenko with the second pick, I feel like he's the most ready player of the group, and will be able to contribute this season better than anyone else on the list. He might not have the highest end potential of the group, but I feel like he's ready, safe, and his high end isn't far off from anyone else available.
My rankings:
1. Tarasenko
2. Huberdeau
3. Galchenyuk
4. Granlund
5. Baertschi
6. Schultz
7. Strome
8. Grigorenko
