Development is not linear, someone like Battaglia who jumped from 65 pts to 90 could develop into a top end player. Coronato just scored 20 goals and very well is already a top 6 player and could become a top line player. Someone like Honzek who has had injuries could still develop into a top line player.

Roope Hintz was drafted 49th in 2015, in his draft +4 year he scored only 9 goals and had 22 pts in 58 games, I bet you no one thought he was a top line talent but here he is now as a 1C on a contender.
Hintz is awesome, but the team also has Wyatt Johnston and Duchene/Tyler Seguin playing center with Hintz. Hintz isn't going to be a successful top line center as the only one on the team.
