A player that I could see falling to 26 is Alex Newhook who is ranked as high as 9 by elite prospects but as low as 20 by TSN/McKenzie.
Newhook simply dominated in the BCHL and is committed to Boston University next year.

I think that the league he performed in, and the college factor, will contribute to a small slide. |
This is my hope too that we can snag this kid. I can't see him falling him out of the top 15 though because his ceiling seems so high and he's already a good 200 ft player. Maybe we trade up with someone like Philly to select him.
Based on wanting more speed my top 3 hopes would be:
1. Alex Newhook (most likely need to trade up)
2. Philip Tomasino
3. Jake Pelletier
