The ones I first thought of were Kucherov, Kaprizov, Panarin, Gaudreau, Pastrnak, Rantanen (he was barely top 10), Nylander was 8th OA. Definitely makes you think if you're better off selecting a D-man or a center if they're at your pick, then just going high risk/high reward wingers in later rounds.
Well, TBF there is that Ovechkin guy. And Marner and Tkachuk.
