I'd have Rantanen and Barzal higher

1. McDavid

4. Eichel

 

[Kale Hulls]

Between last year and the start of this year Rantanen is #2

If you only knew how bad Okposo is....

Edit: Eichel's wingers are really bad though.

 

[Frank Drebin]

Why marner over Rantanen at this point in time?

 

[WetcoastOrca]

At this point I’d have it
McDavid
Eichel
Barzal
Rantanen

 

[Marshy]

Aho too low. Switch him with Provorov and it's better.

 

[SI90]

If you only knew how bad Okposo is...

I guess that’s fair considering who Rantanen plays with but the line mates argument is a bit overrated. Yes better players help stats a bit but it’s not that huge of a difference.

And skinner isn’t exactly a scrub.

 

[Kale Hulls]

Why marner over Rantanen at this point in time?

Eye test mostly. The players I have seen the least of are Rantanen and Hanafin so I might have underrated them a spot or maybe two.

 

[icanconfirm]

1. McDavid
2. Eichel
3. Rantanen
4. Aho
5. Barzal

 

[LordNeverLose]

McDavid
Eichel/Barzal/Rantanen (idgaf order them however)
Provorov/Aho/Marner/Werenski
Boeser/Connor/Chabot

If you told me I absolutely had to give an ordered top 10 right now:

1. McDavid
2. Barzal (homer vote, like I said these guys are interchangeable)
3. Eichel
4. Rantanen
5. Aho
6. Provorov
7. Marner
8. Werenski
9. Boeser
10. Connor
Super-honrable mention: Chabot and Meier, who deserve to be top 10 but this draft is stacked.

5. Aho
6. Marner
7. Provorov
8. Werenski
9. Boeser
10. Chabot

The funny thing is, in every Eichel debate its never why he's better all you hear from people defending Eichel is a bunch of excuses as to why he cant play as well as Matthews, Barzal etc. Just found that funny. If Matthews can perform at a high level with Hyman and Brown im pretty sure Eichel could do damage with Skinner/Reinahrt/oKPOSO.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

I'm wondering if this class will be better than 03.

 

[GHJimmy]

1. McDavid
2. Rantanen
3. Barzal
4. Eichel
5. Aho
6. Marner
7. Provorov
8. Werenski
9. Boeser
10. Chabot

I had my list the same way, but werenski above Marner

 

[3074326]

What a great class. Damn.

 

[The Shadow]

It will be interesting to compare this down the road. The 2003 draft started great and then guys fizzled out

 

[major major]

I'd have Rantanen and Barzal higher

1. McDavid
2. Rantanen
3. Barzal
4. Eichel

Aho should also be right up there with Rantanen, Eichel, and Barzal. Certainly ahead of Werenski and Provorov, who both look a little off so far this year.

 

[13th Floor]

Provorov is #2 for me. People love the points now, but I want the stud defenseman. I'll take the Hedman of this draft.

 

[Agent Zub]

Best draft in NHL history

 

[Agent Zub]

Also f***ing Boston lol. Could've had a dynasty but they had to insist to go off the board.

 

[GoldOnGold]

1. McDavid
2. Barzal (homer vote, like I said these guys are interchangeable)
3. Eichel
4. Rantanen
5. Aho
6. Provorov
7. Marner
8. Werenski
9. Boeser
10. Connor
11. Chabot

Dang, the top 11 of this draft was insane. 1 generational center, multiple elite 1Cs, 3 top-pairing defensemen, an elite winger, and multiple additional first-line wingers.

 

[PatrikBerglund]

I guess that’s fair considering who Rantanen plays with but the line mates argument is a bit overrated. Yes better players help stats a bit but it’s not that huge of a difference.

How many points would Rantanen have playing on a line with Jacob De La Rose and Tom Pyatt?

 

[Conspiracy Theorist]

McDavid
Eichel
Aho
Rantanen
Barzal
Provorov
Werenski
Marner
Boeser
Meier

 

[Kevs Security]

This draft was hecking insane, my mans. Lots of elite talent, but the depth is amazing as well. Just look at this:

NHL-players so far: McDavid, Eichel, Marner, Hanifin, Zacha, Provorov, Werenski, Meier, Rantanen, Crouse, DeBrusk, Barzal, Connor, Chabot, Eriksson Ek, Boeser, Konecny, Roslovic, Juulsen, Beauvillier, Fischer, Dermott, Aho, Carlo, Dunn, Malgin, Nutivaara.

And out of these guys, 90% will make a career in the NHL: Strome, Guryanov, Svechnikov, White, Samsonov, Larsson, Carlsson, Merkley, Stephens, Meloche, Forsbacka Karlsson, Sprong, Chlapik, Hintz, Greenway, Guhle, Andersson, Trenin, Kylington, Dergachyov, Spacek, Joseph, Kaprizov, Simon, Jaros, Gaudette, Gavrikov, Mangiapane, Niku.

Also there's guys like Trenin, Bracco, Zboril, Senyshyn, Bittner, Cernak, Siegenthaler, Saarijarvi, Saarela, Garland, Bear, Timashov, Mikkola, Balcers, Musil, Roy and Looke who could be something some day.

One of the best drafts ever. So many potential HHOF candidates. You got the elite stars, 2nd line wingers, middle-6 guys, bottom-6 guys, elite D-men, #3D's... I could build a team with these guys in a couple of years and fit it under the salary cap.
