William Nylander, Brady Tkachuk, Matthew Tkachuk. 3 wingers. Three sons of well-known NHLers. 3 guys taken after at least one centre or defenceman (or both!) they turned out significantly better than.
That’s why you go BPA regardless of position.

That is a whole lot of expectations no?
While i agree if he was a center he would be a consensus top ten pick. However i dont see him as best player where we pick no matter how the draft actually goes.
From past drafts we know big centers and defence tend to go higher than expected.
