In the late first your looking at pretty typical offerings. Expect a guy like Connor Zary, who could be a solid second liner or could be another Nemisz.

You get enough of those beans and you'll end to with solid depth in the organization. These are likely not franchise changers though.
That’s why they are called “prospects”, because there is a chance they will fail. As a guy who follows the draft very closely every year, I can say that this draft has very good depth going into the second round, with some very tantalizing young talent, who very well could be top-line talent. Of course, nothing is guaranteed. If it was, Kucherov would have been drafted 1st overall. And yes, you can get a “damn good prospect” in the late stages of the 1st, don’t be ridiculous. Where was Pastrnak taken?? 25th overall!!!
