[Flames Draft Watcher]

I see it similar to 2013 as well. Barkov is a going to be a top tier #1 centre and Drouin is showing some serious star/superstar potential this year. Wouldn't surprise me if Ristolainen was a Norris nominee/winner at some point, he has massive ability and is one of the better young dmen in the game. Monahan looks like a star. Wouldn't surprise me if a guy like Lindholm turned out pretty star like as well. Nurse still has top pairing potential IMO. Jones looks like sure fire top pairing dman with star upside. Wouldn't rule him out of competing for a Norris later in his career. Domi is showing some star potential IMO.

2013 is a disappointment to you? weird. Some fantastic young players have come from that draft. Definitely a lot of future stars in there. Too early to say there was no top 15 players, can't judge most drafts properly until 5-7 years after. Barkov, MacKinnon, Drouin and Monahan could all be top 15 scorers at some point in their career. There's not many young dmen in the game I'd take over Ristolainen and Jones.
