If any of those guys are that good their team will be fortunate.

No he doesn't. Backstrom has played roughly 100 less games and has 40 points more.
This team would be fortunate to add a player that can score like Kessel, but in a draft that's been highly touted for a while, and seemingly picking up steam for talent in the top half I think it would be a bit of a disappointment if we didn't get a franchise player. It's lofty expectations, but that's what the top 4 in this draft are billed as - only Johnson was thought to be one in 06.
