All of them play with grit, except Jankowski (though it's a bit early to gauge how physical he will be)

That is really the big question - how much of a difference in value is Barkov from Monahan? Sounds like Barkov is definitely the better prospect, but Monahan could also have some untapped potential there as well playing with a horrible supporting cast on his team. I sometimes wish the Flames move up and snatch Barkov, and sometimes think it is wiser to just pick Monahan.
If they are both gone, I would actually prefer Nichushkin afterwards. Huge RW with skill and speed, and try and move up with the 22 and 28 to nab someone like Lazar, Horvat or Domi (I like Domi, and he plays like he is a big player, but I would prefer larger centers down the middle).
