Definitely.

I would just like to add to your post that, while fans tend to think in consensus (Lindholm is 5/6 on consensus lists, therefore that is where he will go), GMs are not picking by consensus. They have their own list and only their list matters.

So, for instance, it only takes one GM to think that Pulock is a top 10 pick for Pulock to be taken in the top 10.

As for Barkov, it doesn't matter that he is consensus #4, the only thing that matters is who Nashville likes when they make their #4 pick.
