That's a tough call, they are all great prospects. Really a personal preference thing I guess.
Here's how the top 20 shook down in a prospect draft I was involved in last summer. Schultz had not yet signed in Edmonton.
Yakupov
Tarasenko
Baertschi
Granlund
Hamilton
Galchenyuk
Huberdeau
Kreider
Markstrom
Strome
Grigorenko
Ellis
Etem
Zibanejad
Kuznetsov
Schiefele
Smith
Schultz
Lack
Despres

F- Tavares Bergeron Simmonds Kucherov Radulov Skinner JVR Brown R. Smith Perron Kesler

G- Dubnyk Murray Smith

Not sure about your league format but I like Granlund, dominating set of offensive skiils
100% Granlund for me.
Galchenyuk would be my 2nd choice
Put Huberdeau 3rd
Bartschi sits 4th (love him)
Schultz likes the 5th spot
Tarasenko 6th
Grigorenko 7th
Strome 8th
I don't trust the Russians anymore....no need in selecting them over these other guys...the reward is not worth the risk.

I'd go Granlund, Hubs, and then Bartschi.

I would also go for Granlund. He's NHL ready.

13 round draft - Unlimited Trades - No Waivers - No IR

G - C.Hellebuyck, D.Dubnyk, A.Niemi, K.Lehtonen
I'd go Granlund because he has the highend talent, but more importantly, the supporting cast to pull it off the quickest.
Tarasenko would be second for the same reasons as Granlund with a strong supporting cast.
Huberdeau, I like more than the other two, long-term, but the cast isn't there to make as big an immediate impact that Granlund and Tarasenko may make, so I put him 3rd.
Galy would be at my four spot. As others have said, great options.

Well I'm fairly certain that is exactly what you're going to get with him.
For me the top 5 are:
Huberdeau
Galchenyuk
Granlund
Schultz
Baertschi

FOUR TIME DEFENDING CHAMPION
I'm a huge Flames fan.. is the drop from Granlund to Baertschi really that big? I'd rather take Sven if it isn't.
I'd take Tarasenko with the second pick, I feel like he's the most ready player of the group, and will be able to contribute this season better than anyone else on the list. He might not have the highest end potential of the group, but I feel like he's ready, safe, and his high end isn't far off from anyone else available.
My rankings:
1. Tarasenko
2. Huberdeau
3. Galchenyuk
4. Granlund
5. Baertschi
6. Schultz
7. Strome
8. Grigorenko
Man this is tough.. everyones kinda all over the place.. Granlund, Huberdeau, Tarasenko, Baertschi.. I think its between those 4 now.. anyone else care to weigh in?
As I fully expected know one else even considers Strome that's cool I understand. Just to help you out I would have Grandlund then Huberdeau next....
