MEP if we're talking 12 years ago. I recall Svechnikov and Veleno as the guys 2/3 years ago.

Looking thru The Hockey News draft preview, they do show their picks for top guys in following years.

Last summer, the had Svechnikov #1, Dahlin #2 followed by Veleno, Zadina, Wilde, Hughes, McLeod, Tkachuk, McIsaac and Groulx rounding out the top 10.

They had Hughes as #1 next year and Lafreniere in 2020.
