The problem is clearly at forward since you have top hope that Slaf is at least a 70 point player at some point and after that it's not very pretty. You have Roy and Farrell who clearly have shown how skilled they are by how much they dominated their leagues last year and while both have had some ups and downs in the AHL, they have shown very impressive production.
The NHL though is clearly going to be much tougher for Roy and Farrell at this point in their develop due to needing to still work on things like getting quicker, stronger and just learning what it takes at the NHL level for undersized or not overly quick skaters.
There's Heineman who's also shown very good production at the AHL level but we'll see how it goes for him in the NHL as it's hard to say since he's missed a lot of time to injury and hasn't really played much for one team for any real length of time. I do like him a good bit, just question the offense.
After that you have the 3 OHLers, I'm a big fan of Beck's game, not a fan of Mesar's game and really interested in Xhekaj's game based off what he might turn into. Beck they clearly got an NHLer, just a question of how good and he'll need to bulk up and get stronger but he just gets it imo. Mesar has made solid progress for sure so hopefully he can build off it as they will badly need to hit on high skill/speed.
The blueline and in net are the strength by far since Volokhin and Fowler have both really impressed so you got to think they hit on one of these kids. On the blueline it's also very clear some bodies will need to go at some point cause they must get more offensive help.
