I mean I'm not in love with guys like Nylander or Marner but hey, usually the best prospects go straight to the NHL so this list is basically missing a lot of the best young players in the game.
Interesting to note that a guy like Connor who we could have drafted if we hadn't traded for Hamilton is freaking killing it in college hockey. Just murdering it as a freshman. Be interesting to know where he was on the Flames list. I think he's rated higher than Barzal for good reason so far. White and Boeser were another couple intriguing guys last year who are really doing well in college so far.
Gonna be interesting to watch the battle of Demko vs MacDonald for the next few years since we had our pick of the two. Always hard to cast opinions on goalies for the first few years of their careers.
