Now that the U18s are over here's my final answer(s):
Tier One (11): Hughes, Kakko, Byram, Boldy, Cozens, Dach, Turcotte, Caufield, Podkolzin, Zegras, Krebs
Tier Two (8): Broberg, Kaliyev, Knight, Lavoie, Newhook, Soderstrom, Harley, York
Tier Three (11): Leason, Dorofeyev, Brink, Tracey, Poulin, Tomasino, Kolyachonok, Puistola, Afanasyev, Seider, Heinola, Thomson
Tier Three extends from 20-31 closing out the first round with another group of eight worth first round consideration but less so. Then I have another big chunk through the rest of the second round, half of which are defensemen. At 25 I'd further narrow it down to wingers Leason, Dorofeyev, Brink or Tracey. At least one will very likely be available to them and I like their respective upsides. Poulin or Tomasino may be more fast-track type bottom sixers compared to Brink or maybe Tracey from a physical/compete standpoint but I'd shoot for the upside and retain their typical patient, long-term approach. Dorofeyev & Tracey aren't regularly ranked by all of the various scouting services in this area but McKenzie's final list during draft week remains the most reputable. We'll see where they come in at when the time comes but they've both got the skill set to build from to be dynamic skilled middle six wingers. One of them at 25 and then someone like Holmstrom, Nikolayev, Foote, Hoglander, Protas or Cajkovsky in the second round would be a good start in starting to build back up the system's offensive upside.
