Ryabkin who is trending to be on par or better than Demidov...Kucherov....Michkov.....think about that a bit. Lots of top end talent in the pipeline in the next 2 drafts.
Probably more than this draft.

Which is why:
1) trading Markstrom was a good idea, and our standing in the next draft is more important than the return was
2) getting the extra 25 and 26 1st rounders was so important.

This draft is going to be a lot of fun. But I am even more excited about the next 2 drafts.
