I see Nichushkin falling, Grigorenko style.

I also see Bo Horvat going around 15-20, not 10 as the ISS rankings suggest.
Agreed. The last 4 drafts at least one guy was taken higher then predicted.

2012 with Lindholm (6th), Koekkeok (10th), and Pouliot (8th)
2011 with Scheifele (7th)
2010 with Schwartz (14th), McIlrath (10th), and maybe Burmistrov (8th)
2009 with Glennie (8th)

So hopefully someone will do the same this draft (that isn't us) and leave us with some quality prospects like Lindholm, Monahan, Hagg, Gauthier, and maybe even Barkov.
