    Brady Tkachuk should be here

The drop off lessens the farther into the draft you get.

    McDavid
    Matthews
    Draisaitl
    MacKinnon
    Kucherov
    Huberdeau
    Marchand
    Rantanen
    Makar
    M. Tkachuk
    Kaprizov
    Barkov
    Ovie
    Marner
    Gaudreau

    Here's a reasonable top-15.
    What you're looking at is Matthews/Drai and Marner/Gaudreau for Kuch/Hubs and Makar/Tkachuk. It's reasonable but I'll take the 2/14 slot every time. There's also a slight chance that #1 overall goes one of Matthews/Makar/Vas/Shesty and you end up with McDavid.

    Yeah he definitely should be. Just goes to show there's a lot more depth than there is quantity at the top.

    I think the value between 2 and 5 is more substantial than the value between 9 and 14 which isn't much difference at all. So I'd go with 2 and 14.

    If you get the chance to get the #2 overall pick you go out and get it. Having the opportunity to get a player like Matthews, Mackinnon, Draisaitl, or even Makar you don't pass that up. Even when you get down to pick #14 you are going to receive a quality player at that pick as well. Go with the #2 & #14 pick.
