While I think Drouin looks much better (flashy) in these clips than MacKinnon, I'd also like to bring up that Baertschi also man-handled players in the WHL with quick little moves and dekes almost regularly, though in the NHL almost nothing Sven does has worked (not that I blame him, he is still getting used to NHL quality d-men).
I'd go MacKinnon or Barkov over Drouin and Jones, but would be ecstatic over any of the big 4.
For those who really like Monohan, why? I know his stats aren't up to the rest of the top picks because his team is awful, but is he really that good?
