Yeah, I think it's pretty likely all of Celebrini, Demidov, Lindstrom, Iginla, Catton, Helenius, Eiserman, Senecke will be gone by our pick.I think this is largely it. Even if you think a lack of high-end puck skills limits him offensively, what are the other available options bringing that make them more likely to produce more offensive (or contribute to the production of more offense).
I don't love MBN's profile early in the draft, but I have time for it in the mid first and later in most years.
So I don't know that there will be a lot of high upside options. I think Connelly is that, but I could understand if for a few reasons the team wasn't interested in him. I think Hage is a good option with good upside, but I understand I am a bit higher on him than the consensus in that regard.
Greentree and Parascak are interesting options, but the skating is kind of rough. I just picked up The Black Book and they are decently high on them both. They gave Parascak a 9/9 in hockey sense which is pretty cool, and were pretty complimentary on the skill of Greentree. Both guys need a good amount of work with skating though.
The rest of the forwards you are looking at are pretty similar in upside to MBN as far as Chernyshov, Boisvert, Hemming, etc.
Personally I am hoping the draft doesn't go chalk and someone slides like Yakemchuk, Senecke, or Iginla. (I also would not hate drafting Jiricek at all at #15.) Honestly I am not even sure I am that into Eiserman anymore?
