I mean they may end up being good players, just don't seem to have the same elite level as some of the top picks in this draft.

At least this year the draft doesn't fall off until the teens. 8th shouldn't be that much worse than 5th. This year actually works really well with the new lottery. The 3 lottery winners get the potential franchise/superstar players. Then you have the rest of the playoff teams all getting potential top two line forwards and top 3 dmen.
As for Gauthier and McLeod, I actually kind of doubt they'd be our pick. I guess I had Gauthier 9th on my list and didn't have McLeod.
If we're drafting 4 through 8 I think we get one of Tkachuk, Chychrun, Dubois, Juolevi or Nylander.
