Drouin at #4 - I really thought we would have seen him go up to #1 or #2 after his WJC and his scoring pace in the Q once he returned. He scores at a 2.0PPG pace, and leads a top club in scoring, which not many players can do. This kid has some serious skill and hockey sense.

My thoughts exactly. Well just what justified such a big jump.


He's ranked No. 4 by NHL Central Scouting for European skaters. http://www.nhl.com/ice/page.htm?id=85616

I wouldn't be surprised if lots of teams have him in their top 2. Whoever gets him will be very pleased no matter where he goes.

He's looked great the last 3 games even without Nathan.

Yeah, I feel the exact same way .

In the WJCs, he did what we all wanted MacKinnon to do. Play your way into the top 6 and force the coach to put you on the ice because you are playing so damn well.

Valery Nichushkin is a huge power forward. You might remember him for scoring that OT winner against Canada in the bronze medal game.

Huge upside on this kid because of his speed,size and shot. He's pretty unstoppable at the junior level. Biggest question marks are his on-ice vision, and the fact that he's a got a contract in the KHL (I think).

To be fair to Mackinnon, he was much better suited to fill a checking role on that team than Drouin. Drouin was top six or bust and he forced their hand. Mackinnon filled a role for the team and unfortunately for him the points never came but it wasn't really as much a case of Drouin outplaying him as some believe. Almost all the scoring on that team came from the top two lines....Mackinnon was doomed.

Now, for anyone not yet on the Drouin bandwagon, what are you waiting for! This kid is something special and watching him develop in Halifax alongside Mackinnon these past two years has been an absolute treat! Drouin seems to get better every game and he has so much confidence at this point the sky is the limit for him.

I think it's now safe to say that this draft is going to be very hard to predict. There is no clearcut number one and that's for all the right reasons. In fantasy drafts I'd be thrilled to select anywhere in the top 5

Fantasy wise, Drouin has to be #1. I'd stay away from Nichushkin, seems like a risky pick for multiple reasons.

I was surprised that Barkov and Lindholm aren't ranked higher.
