It's not like he said he was going to be a perennial 90 pt guy and sure fire top 5 player in the league. He said he has that potential. Considering he was already 6th in points, and 5th in PPG it's not that far of a stretch to say he might have the potential to be even better.
For the most part I agree that he doesn't really scream "top 5 player in the league", but I wouldn't be surprised if he hit 90 points, and that might actually make him a top 5 player considering only two guys have broken 90 points in the last 3 seasons.
In terms of which forward I would take first in that draft it's a tough question.
Over the last three seasons.
Kucherov: 0.93 PPG (10th)
Gaudreau: 0.88 PPG (16th)
Scheifele: 0.83 PPG (22nd)
The big thing that Kucherov has to go along with that too is great playoff point production, the guy has .95 PPG in the playoffs over the last 3 years.
Honestly the only one I couldn't see going first overall is Gaudreau. If you want a dynamic scoring winger then Kucherov has been better the last couple years, however if you value size and the center ice position then you would go Scheifele.
