Scheiffele is a tremendous young centre. Big, fast, skilled. I really like his upside, he can be a game breaker at times. Ehlers is that classic average sized or slightly undersized super high skill player that lots of fans love (see Alex Nylander this year.) He will be a game breaker at times most likely. Armia may amount to something. Trouba is nice. Their real wildcard is Kyle Connor. That kid is absolutely dominating college as a freshman. Hard to cap his upside at this point. They also have former top 10 picks Wheeler, Little and Burmistrov.
One more game breaker this year and I think they look pretty good up front, but not necessarily right away. I guess they could pick a d-man instead. Like us they still need to improve goaltending in the short term. Maybe Hellebuyck is ready to start next year?
