Depending on my team makeup, direction and format I’d definitely be taking him at 10 in most cases. May have him as high as 3 behind Hughes and Kakko. Arguments could be made for ‘19’s but Borgstrom is the real deal and way ahead of the others.
In terms of pure value to NHL teams, where do you see Borgstrom vs the 2019 draft class?
Would he be worth a 10th pick overall in 2019? Or closer to 20th maybe?

In a points only league I'd probably target Borgstrom in that 5-8 range right after Turcotte and Byram - I'd closely compare him to Zegras only you're getting a player that is producing ~3 years earlier on a team that is going to be putting up big offensive numbers over the next few years.
Gets a little trickier if it's a multi-cat league. But I'd still grab him before those 9-12 guys like Caufield, Pod and Boldy either way.
Good luck with your decision.
