If you combined 2015-2017 into one draft what would the top-15 look like?

[Diddly]

Just wondering where you guys think Nico/ Nolan would stack up with the last 2 drafts? Not sure if there is already a thread like this out there. I would say
1. McDavid
2. Matthews
3. Eichel
4. Laine
5. Werenski
6. Marner
7. Provy
8. Patrick
9. Nico
10. Puljujarvi
11. Keller
12. Tkachuk
13. McAvoy
14. Hanifin
15. Strome

Good list for the most part. couple minor changes I'd make are move Keller to 15 then switch Tkachuk and McAvoy 11/12

Are we basing this off hype at the time they were drafted or what they've since become so far? I would say some guys have exceeded draft day expectations while others have gone the other way at this point.

I made mine based on what they've become since.

I'm sorry, but Dylan Strome does not belong on lists like this. I couldn't possibly be less impressed by him.

I think it's a pointless exercise to evaluate them as they are now. It has to be as they were their draft years, as viewed by you, without benefit of hindsight. For me, something like this, though it's tough:

1. McDavid
2. Matthews
3. Eichel
4. Laine
5. Provorov
6. Marner
7. Keller
8. Hischier
9. Patrick
10. Werenski
11. Puljujarvi
12. Strome
13. Barzal
13. Dubois
14. Heiskanen
15. Tkachuk
16. Hanifin
17. Vilardi
18. Glass
19. Connor
20. Sergachev
21. Dove-McFalls

Only thing I'd add is that I think Ho-sang belongs on that list. Watching him live it's just amazing how good he really is. He is the acorn that blind squirrel Garth Snow found IMO. Also good job not putting Eichel 9th or something like the hot take artists on the main board would do.

Not anymore. My list is just based off of Pre-Draft perception. He's got bust written all over him now though.

Yeah, your right. I had one too many hoots last night and just felt like he had to be on this list for some reason. Stome out and Rantanen or Zacha in.

Yeah Ho-Sang is fun to watch ill give you that. I almost had Laine ahead of Eichel but theres no way he can be any lower then 4th at this point imo.

Can someone align this list to the teams that picked them? I'm think we in not tanking may have over-achieved against the tanking teams.

And Im asking cause Im a little drunk - it took a while to really sink in and now I am finally celebrating the draft lottery win.
