Don't some scouts feel that Lawrence is more likely to top out as a #2 center at the NHL level? I don't think he has done enough this season to really show those opinions as nonsense yet. That's where I feel all the Cs at the top of this draft are most likely to top-off at. I am not going to say that they can't or don't have a chance to get there, but simply that it is most likely that they end up as 2nd line centers.
Here is a great article by Wheeler that isn't behind a paywall on this draft.

Interesting to note how he ranks the top of this upcoming draft with the 2025 draft (I don't think this has been posted yet - apologies if it has been):
