Video of Nashville's Asst. GM Paul Fenton talking about the top 5 prospects.
-on Jones, "Could be better than Rob Blake". already 6'4, athletic at both ends of the ice. Any team could use him as a building block
-on Barkov, two-way centre, already put up point per game numbers in a pro league. compares him to Kopitar, controls the ice, big/strong already, hard to hold up, perfect fit for Preds at centre
-on MacKinnon, is a prolific, dynamic, speedy, goalscorer. sees nothing but net, goes for it, not gonna give up. compares to Stamkos' personality the way he wants the puck.
- on Drouin, magician, never know where the puck is going to come from, darts in and out, finds the seams, makes plays, and he can score as well. the offense he can bring is incredible
- on Lindholm, similar type of Swede as what we've seen in the past. puck-carrying, smart, cutting type of forward that can pick apart seams and score goals. On top of that he's a fierce competitor

So unless they're intentionally BSing it would appear that our deduction that they won't take another Russian after the Radulov debacle is true. Sounds like Barkov/Lindholm for them unless someone ahead takes Nichushkin and Drouin drops
