It’s insane the fact the NHL is getting so many franchise changing players in the next couple of NHL drafts. Dahlin - Franchise D-man, J. Hughes - Franchise Center, Lafrenière- Franchise Winger. Also, I won’t count out Byfield of being a possible franchise center-man, knowing this NHL a team might just take him over Lafrenière just because he’s a center (Unless Lafrenière is a center). You know what why stop here, 2021 we got the next Zdano Chara Owen Power, and 2022 a guy being compared to Crosby and McDavid, Matthew Savoie. I mean jeez we’re getting so much talent in the next couple of NHL drafts it’s insane. Now, about your mock draft, it’s-a pretty gouda. Marco Rossi an Austrian expected to be a Top 5 Pick is pretty awesome.

Guhle is my #3 at the moment, but we have similar rankings for now

Came across Kyle Crnkovic out of the WHL (Saskatoon) from his Pursuit of Excellence academy video (same league as Matthew Savoie). Undersized winger, but man does his speed, skill and shot impress me. Probably a late rounder/bloomer but wanted to get the kid's name out there.

O shoot didn’t mean to make Hughes a winger, auto cerrect screwed me there. But I did thought Lafrenière was a winger.

seems Alexis is a Winger from Elite Prospects but i think he can play anywhere, any ways he is gonna be a Franchise player

Tyler Kleven (USA, D) was almost unanimously praised as the best player at the USNTDP tryout camp. He was also highlighted by The Hockey News as a potential top-10 pick for the 2020 draft.

I only saw him once. With time and more games watched, I'm sure I will be able to have a better idea of him. Thank you for the info !
