Oh I agree, there are lots of very good potentially great players in this draft but lots of development as well. A good example is Klim Kostin who needs lots of development but has many of the raw tools needed to be great. There are lots of those players in this draft just not as many NHL ready players like in 2016 which only had so far 4 and Chycrun isn't ready Arizona just forced him to be should be still in junior imo. A lot of the players drafted high will need a couple years of development most likely. Patrik is the only one I would label NHL ready, even that's pushing it as he's missed lots of development time this year. Nico is a beauty but he still won't be ready imo unless on Vegas. We were lucky to get one of those NHL ready players in 2016. . Lots of development projects in this one but there is some excellent talent in this draft. It's not the Yakupov draft that's for sure.
