My personal preference and by no means at all accurate to current draft Rankings.
1. Barkov (by a fair margin, the size, the skill, the winning of face offs in a mens league, Mikko Koivu type player.)
2. MacKinnon (not sold on his skill and his slipping in the rankings verify my suspicion)
3. Drouin (If taking BPA, he has to go number one, kid has insane skill. but we dont need wingers, we have plenty)
4. Ristolainen (thought he was uber impressive in the WJC and I know one tournament does not make a clear picture of a player but by all acounts is real real good)
5. Jones (Portland has some sort of wicked magic when it comes to developing prospects and Jones looks no different. Just not completely sold on the hype and he was good in the WJC but there were some bad bad plays he made that make me worry.)
