From an OHL perspective, I'll assume that D. Hamilton, Landeskog, Strome and Murphy are all off the board in the top 10 likely and most definitely by the top 15.
A guy like Brandon Saad who is very raw and has been surpassed by a few guys since the start of the season is someone who I would have a long look at. He will need at least 2 years of seasoning but has all the tools and instincts to be a solid top 6 player and possibly quite a bit more.
Alexander Khoklachev is another guys I would target if he is still available. Solid player with great offensive tools, speed and isn't afraid to go to high traffic areas with the puck to score. He'll likely take a bit o a hit because he is a smaller guy and the russian factor.
