    Default 4th overall pick - anyone stand out over the rest?

    Between Glass, Pettersson, Vilardi and Mittelstadt, does anyone stand out over the other? In a year from now, is there any one of these guys that we'll be saying - He's clearly the best of the bunch (similar to how Clayton Keller seems to have separated himself from last year's second tier of first round picks)?
    Or are they all more or less equal to each other?
    What would you do if you have to draft only one of them? Assuming trading down won't really get much in value. I go back and forth with myself every day. I really like Pettersson, and it sounds like he really impressed in development camp. At the same time, Glass could be handed Vegas' offense, and if he winds up becoming another Scheifele, that's hard to beat. Mittelstadt could wind up playing with Eichel. Plus he's a winger, and I'm really, really deep at center, so if things are equal, I tend to favor the winger.

    What should we be expecting from these guys in a few years? Point-wise, and also peripherals (hits, blocks).

    GET WELL SOON, DOBBER.

    I'd say Mittelstadt or Pettersson but If I had to choose one I would go with Mittelstadt. He is a very good skater who plays with a lot of compete and drive. Creative puck handeler and is my 2nd favorite prospect out of this draft class behind Hischier. I tried trading up in the draft just to get Mittelstadt but failed to do so. Can't wait to see how these prospects career paths go but really think Mittelstadt is going to be the guy here.

    no one is a standout at #4. That was the big story about this draft, 4-12 were largely interchangeable. That hasn't changed post-draft. People now have their favorites, moreso vs. predraft due to where they landed. but you gotta go with gut more than anything else. They're still flip-flopping. Just look at the 'post your draft here' thread that's ongoing to see the flip-flopping of draft orders
