So one more top 10 pick and they're ready to go?
I would feel excellent about the long term health of their forward pool if they managed to get one of Lafrieniere, Byfield, Raymond, Holtz, Stutzle, or Rossi in this draft. To a lesser extent, Lundell, who I see more as a Stepan-caliber center (though not style, just in terms of overall quality). And obviously some of those names are way more unlikely than others.
I would identify and build around Kakko/Kravtsov/Chytil/rookie/Panarin/Zibanejad as my long term top-6, with the understanding also that Panarin and Zibanejad are going to age-out at some point while Kakko and company are still able to compete for championships, therefore, obviously I'm still long-term hunting for another player or two for my top-6, but if I have to ride on pairings of, say, Kakko-Chytil on a top line and Kravtsov-rookie on a second line, I feel confident that that's the core of two lines that can carry the team to the Finals when those players are 27 years old-ish.
Kreider just doesn't fit in this time-line for me as a top-liner at $7m. I don't think he's capable of being a line-driver like Kakko projects to be. I am expecting Kravtsov and Chytil to develop into at least Kreider-equivalents, I'm hoping a good bit more than him actually (say, 60-70 point players instead of 45-55 point players).
