I don't recall much about guys like Lazar, Gauthier, Mantha or Shinkaruk other than their high end being "solid NHLer".

Shinkaruk was thought to be a top 10 pick by many, due to his elite release and hands. It was a surprise when he dropped but now we see why.
Mantha was another guy who seemed to have really good skills in a couple areas, but lots of concerns about his overall game and if it would translate.
