Based on play only, Audette has got to be in the top-3 forwards. Leads his team in scoring by a fair margin and had had points in every game but one thus far this season (on a young team with little offence). More consistent, confident and dynamic than last year. Other than maybe Barbashev, I can not think of another first-time draft eligible forward who has played better than him this season.

Tucker White doesn't stand a chance in hell on getting drafted. His qualities end at big. He can't skate or keep up with this calibre hockey whatsoever. If he wasn't an American kid , he would have already been reassigned.

Quebec's Raphaël Maheux is missing from your list as I think he should be in front of Donaghey right now. He's getting better and better. He has been playing 1st pairing and 1st PP unit in the last few games. He has the size (6'1, 214 lbs) and a quality shot from the point.

Timotej Sille should be there somewhere.

2nd-time eligible though

Good to know, definitely thought about him but had heard negative things about him in training camp.
