I see these players as:

1)Laine
2)Matthews
Top 6/Top Pair Line drivers
3)Puljujarvi
4)Dubois
5)Keller
6)Sergachyev
7)Brown
More Sketchy Top 6/Top Pair Line Drivers
8)Jost
9)Rubtsov
10)Fabbro
Complimentary top 6 forwards
11)Tkachuk
12)Nylander
I'm not interested in a complimentary top 6 forward (A Jiri Hudler, Andrew Ladd or Brandon Saad tier player) over a line driver (A Marian Hossa, Tyler Johnson, Ryan Johansen tier player).
If I had to outline the player I'd ideally like to add, it would be Marian Hossa. Size, Skill, Motor, everything. So to accuse me of favoring smaller players is ridiculous. I just have little interest in what I've seen of Tkachuk. Even his highlight reel goals are incredibly ordinary straight line drives, stuff that doesn't work in the NHL unless you've got a monstrous Lucic frame (he doesn't).

You are using the term "franchise" too lightly, franchise players come every once a decade and that franchise this decade was McDavid. Lots of scouts, Brian Burke and others have said that there no franchise players in this years draft.
