My recollection that the talk was mostly around MacKinnon and Jones, with Drouin mentioned as a possibility based on his excellent season. Not a knock on Barkov at all, but I think it is fair to say that many were surprised he went #2.

I'll correct myself, majority of folk on CP had the Jones/MacKinnon blinders on.
Barkov was ranked #2 on a few lists but the same thing was being talked about that is being talked about with Draisaitl. Skating needed work etc...
Either way, the top four to six was far better than this years top four or five.
Wouldn't surprise me at all if Draisaitl gets taken 2-3. The size added with the skill set and hockey IQ will be tough to pass up.
