I think any of Johnson, Beniers, or Eklund would be a victory. All have top 6 potential IMO. PPG in college as a freshman is nothing to sneeze at (in big 10 no less), so though they are being downplayed I think Johnson and Beniers both have pretty good offensive upside. Many guys don't play in college leagues until after their draft year, instead playing in USHL that year and being a college freshman the next. They're playing with and against much larger guys regularly. Eklund is pacing for pretty unreal offensive numbers as a teenager in the top swedish league.
