Maybe so, but many of those deals come with out clauses that ultimately leave the decision up to the NHL team which drafts him. Still a possibility.

I'm just trying to see if anyone knows the other prospects on the list.
I've been wondering about this list since it was posted. Who do you guys think is number #1, I'm guessing Barkov. And I'm thinking #2 and #3 could be Tolchinsky and Ivan Barbashev. Also is that finish youngster Aleksi Saarela anywere on this list.
I doubt Barkov would come over... He's doing great things for Tampere.
Aleksi Saarela is a 1997... I doubt he's eligible.
EDIT: and would you mind editing your post? It's hard scrolling through this list twice..
97's aren't eligible; this year it's 95's and older (so 93's and 94's, think 92's are no longer allowed since they'll be OA's).
Added my guesses:
This is kind of fun but there are so many possibilities.
Still missing a bunch of top prospects, namely '13 Swedes (Cederholm, de la Rose, Hägg, Liljendahl, Wallmark), draft eligible Finns (Lindell, Korpisalo, Pokka, Vainonen) and some younger Russians (Zadorov).
Also no idea where to put Matej Paulovic, but he's likely at the top.
No idea where to put Tomas Torok either since I've never seen him, but he's probably on this list too.
This is really difficult since I'm not really a scout, I just like to watch any games that I can.

What's the chance of Draisaitl, De la rose or Burakowsy coming over to the CHL?

this draft is impossible to rank...teams draft players who tell them they are coming over, of course the teams picking top will contact the top players and see if they will come with their team but you know players so no and stuff because they have a deal with other teams or players stay home and play (mostly Swedish, Finish and Russians stay, though latley a lot of the top russian talents are coming over)...it is really impossible to say who is ranked for this because all the Euros ranked are all the 94s and 95s and knowing which ones plan on coming over is hard to predict and so are which teams they possibly have deals with already.

Paulovic will stay in Sweden. Torok will stay IMO in Slovakia, because his dad is a assistant couch in Hkm Zvolen. Or maybe also Sweden.

As alko posted, there seems to be a growing interest in moving to Sweden instead of CHL.
Is that an effect you've noticed, talked about with people in your club and/or other clubs?

Burakowsky is singed and i read an article were he stated that he'll finish school in Sweden. Which would keep him in Sweden for at least 2 more years.

Dansk singed with Brynäs because of their goalie coach and yesterday Brynäs GM said he was a possibility as one of the goalies in Brynäs SEL squad.
I think he'll stay...

Well, he's been playing in NA before..
But it sounds unlikely
http://www.hockeysverige.se/article/13167447/fyller-garna-svedbergs-lucka
He's on his way to Toronto for the Scouting Combine, did your whispers say he's on his way to Canada? because he is...

"Oscar Dansk själv säger till hockeysverige.se att Brynäs är hans förstaval, men vågar inte ta ut något i förskott.
- Nu verkar det ju som om Niklas sticker och då öppnas det ju upp en plats i A-laget. Men sedan får vi se hur de har tänkt, om det är jag som får den eller om de plockar in någon annan, säger Dansk.
- Men det är en diskussion vi får ta när det blir klart vad som händer med Niklas."
loosely translated:
Oscar Dansk tells hockeysverige.se Brynäs is his first choice
- It looks like Niklas (Svedberg, likely moving to bruins) will leave and that will open a spot in the SEL squad. But i don't know if i'll get it or if they will find another replacement.
- We (Dansk and Brynäs) will have to take about it when we know where Niklas is going.

From: http://www.aftonbladet.se/sportbladet/hockey/sverige/elitserien/brynas/article14866657.ab
"Svedberg träffade flera klubbar i Helsingfors i samband med VM, och det mesta pekar på att hans val fallit på Boston Bruins.
För Brynäs – som nu mÃ¥ste hitta en ersättare – är förlusten av guldhjälten tung.
33-Ã¥rige Johan ”Honken” Holmqvists komplement kan hämtas frÃ¥n J20-laget.
– Vi vet inte exakt hur det blir ännu, men vi har ju en potentiell kille i Oscar Dansk (18 Ã¥r). Han är rankad tvÃ¥a i Europa i sin Ã¥ldersgrupp inför draften sÃ¥ det är helt klart en lovande mÃ¥lvakt. Oscar är ett bra alternativ, säger Sundlöv."
loosely translated:
"Svedberg met with several NHL clubs in Helsinki during WHC, and it looks like he's picked the Bruins
Now Brynäs needs to find a replacement.
Johan ”Honken” Holmqvist's (brynäs other goalie) goalie partner could come from the Junior team.
- We haven't deiced yet, but we have a great goalie in Oscar Dansk. He's ranked second of the European goalies before the draft and is a promising goalie. Oscar is a good option (as Svedbergs replacement) says Sundlöv (Brynäs GM)
