2017 draft is humourous is retrospect - Hischier and Nolan Patrick go 1-2 followed by Heiskanen and Makar. Nightmare fuel for the Devils and especially the Flyers.

Yeah, and as was noted above, they made moves at the draft to get Oettinger and Robertson, so it's not just an accident. Pretty good start to a core group, but they are going to need centres. Seguin, Benn and Joe P. are gonna age out pretty quickly. Their issue with replacement is made harder by the fact Seguin makes $9.85 through 26-27 and Benn makes $9.5 through 24-25. Joe P is signed for a fairly reasonable amount for one more year. Also, Heiskenan is signed long term at a decent contract, but Robertson and Oettinger are both RFA now (no arb rights though).
