1. McDavid - Lou thinks might be most talented player that he has seen since Gretzky. In terms of pure physical tools, not sure he has seen anything like him.
2. Eichel - Would be a 1st OA pick for the last few drafts. Tore up the NCAA - first freshman to win Hobey Baker since Paul Karyia. Will step right into Buffalo's roster.
3. Strome - First instinct is to go with Hanifin, but Coyotes' need for offense is why he went with Strome. Excellent playmaker. Comparisons to Getzlaf which might not be fair.
4. Marner - Leafs need everything everywhere. Outside of McDavid might not be a more dynamic forward in this draft. Only drawback is 5'11' 162lbs.
5. Hanifin - Carolina would probably love to have Marner. Barzal might be the next best center, but Hanifin's talents are too big. Beautiful skater, needs work defensively.
6. Barzal - More skilled play maker in the draft. Can be a cornerstone franchise player down the middle. Only downside is his willingness to go into tough areas.
7. Provorov - Like him too much not to take him in this spot. Not sure if Flyers see it that way. Does it all. Not the biggest guy. Only time Provorov Lou has seen him struggle was against Kelowna in the playoffs.
8. Werenski - can't have too many defencemen. Does everything well. Straight up fits in Columbus. Some compare him to Phil Housley. One of his knocks that he is too aggressive offensively.
9. Rantanen - Sharks would have loved Werenski according to some people Lou talked to. Not the most physical guy for his size. Excellent skater. High hockey IQ. If he can up his foot speed to him.
10. Connor - Would love a defenceman but still not prepared to move down to the next ledge to pick one up. Size, explosive skating, great hands. He has dynamic upside.
will update the post as picks come
