My thoughts when it comes to prospects are, if you have two players playing the same position and are roughly similar in their overall talent level, then take the bigger one. The reason being, is if they hit their potential, they will be just that little bit better. The difference between McKinnon and Barkov is relatively small, with McKinnon being slightly faster, but no more or less dynamic. That's why I would take Barkov instead of McKinnon.
If I had to rate the 4 by preference it would be
1. Barkov
2. Jones
3. McKinnon
4. Drouin
