Those ceilings aren’t 50%, probably low probability. All of these guys might be fortunate to end up as 3rd line 2 way centers producing 40 points a year, 1 probably doesn’t make it or is a 3rd or 4th line winger.
We seem fairly well stocked with Frost, Zary and 3 year older Kadri that can probably play 3rd line center, when needed up to 2nd line.
We’re not finding some dynamic 2nd line center in this draft at that draft position.
