Burakovsky over Poirier obviously would have been OK, but there's precious few players in the Klimchuk pick vicinity that have made any impact either. Hartman has played a lot of I guess but he's still meh outside of one season. You actually have to go late second/third round to find gold: Lekhonen, Bertuzzi, Carrier, Pesce, Buchnevich, Guentzel, Verhaeghe and Bjorkstrand.
