As much as I want Barkov (Jones, Drouin and MacKinnon are likely out of reach), I think I would like to gamble on him falling a little this year.

And I mean this with all due respect to Barkov because I think he is going to be the real deal, but I also think that Nichushkin and possibly Nurse could disrupt the predicted order, as well as Barkov's injury (likely not an issue, but maybe small factor in pushing someone away). While it might only be a 35% chance or something (completely pulled out of this air) that Nurse and Nichushkin sneak in there, I think Lindholm and Monahan are decent enough consolation prizes that the gamble is worth taking.
