On draft.... Let me say my 2 cents on the top guys....

CMD - point stud - all star
Eichel - all star - leader - future cup holder
Strome - 20-30 goalies 5 years - no cup
Marner - bust
Hanafin - solid top 6 blue liner
Zacha - stud
Prov /'werenski - busts
Meier - top 6
Mikko - niche player few good years
Crouse - ok career
Guri - bust
Zboril - nice player, winner
Debrusk - avg NHL time up, few nice seasons
Sens - total mystery on how he will adapt, a swing for the fences
Barzal - nice player, better in late 20s
Connor - hard to tell
Chabot - could be sleeper
Svechi - total franchise changer - could be a great one
Eriksson - tough amazing leading guy
Samsanov - good backup to potential starter
Boeser - 200-250 NHL games, maybe some spurts
Kony - over achieving 3rd liner
Rosi - juulson - busts
Larsson - very nice Dman
Beau / Carl / merk - busts to avg guys

1st rounders I think have all star potential:

CMD, Eichel, Zacha, Meier, zboril, svechi, Eriksson, Larsson

Those are the 8 guys I really like in the 1st given where they landed etc...

Good players, not great

Strome, Hana, Barzal, Chabot, konecny

All others I think will be viewed as not worth their high selection yes including marner... I cringe when I hear him constantly compared to Kane

I have 13/30 guys having good careers and odds are I'm right given the past
