It's so simple! Why didn't the moron ever think of that before!

yup. Celebrini might be the best prospect to come along since McDavid, including Bedard.
Those guys just don't come along very often and you have to be incredibly fortunate to bottom out at the right time, and win the lotto.
You've got the meh #1s: Owen Power, AF
You've got the great #1st but don't necessarily change a franchise: Dahlin, Slafkovsky, Hischier
Then you've got the ones that change your franchise: Mackinnon, Celebrini, Matthews, etc.
Gotta be lucky to get one of that final group.
(not sure where I would put Jack Hughes)
