I know I am wording that weird, but they basically suggested that it was like Bedard > Fantilli/Carlson/Michkov >>> any other projected 1st rounder.

Fantilli just feels like Eichel back then to me - he'd be a sure-fire 1st overall in most other classes, but he just happens to be in a class where there's a generational talent. A 6-2 center who completely dominates the USHL at 17 and college at 18? Really sucks to see such a talent land in Anaheim.
Michkov, I'm honestly less familiar with. But even if he's up there talent-wise, the KHL contract and that whole Russian factor would scare the crap out of me. If I'm an NHL team with a high pick, it's Bedard > Fantilli > Carlsson/Michkov > everybody else.
