I can't speak for others, but I have Bracco so high because he broke Patty Kane's assist record for the USA national Development Team. His overall numbers were also right there with Kane and Kessel too. That's a pretty amazing feat given how many good players did not produce such numbers in that league.
His offensive gifts are elite, but needs to work on his defensive game - which is pretty much the case for all of these type of players.
The real knock against him is his size, but what has me not too worried about that is his confidence. It's often mind over matter. If you think you're a beast and play like one, it won't hold you back as much. (to a certain extent, of course)
Actually, Bracco has elite skills, and his size issue is overblown - he's already 190lbs at 18! He's going to be built similar to Tyler Johnson.
I would go:
1) Marner
2) Nylander
3) Kapanen
4) Bracco
5) Brown
6) Dermott
7) Korostelev
8) Percy
9) Valiev
10) Dzierkals (wait for this year in the Q - he's going be the surprise of this year!)
