Jersey could just as easily Take Rantanen. SJ could go with the bigger and equally skilled Guryanov. With the amount of risers and fallers this year, I think the only ones that are safe locks for the top half of the draft are Hanifin, the wonder twins at the top, Provorov, Marner and Strome. Kyle Connor can go to NJ for all we know, I don't really see a big difference in that tier.
Svechnikov can go Higher, Any one of a few D men like Roy or Zboril can as well.
The talent grouping being so close it may come down to NHL ready size. Pushing an average sized player like Barzal down.
