Chose Hage but couldn’t have went wrong with a vote to Roy or Beck here imo
Fowler very much in the mix as well.

I would be disappointed in Hage.
Roy
He put up huge numbers in the Q and in the world juniors, then nice numbers in the ahl, and had a solid start to the nhl. He scored 7 pts in his last 14 nhl games playing only 12 min a night.
If Hage after 3 years has done the equivalent, we would be very happy
Hage was a mid-late 1st round pick. Expecting more than that from Hage is unrealistic at this point.
If you look at prospects from Roy's draft year, outside of a few of the top 10 picks + Wyatt Johnson, nobody has done much better.
Coronato, Othmann, Samoskevich, Mailloux, Zellweger, Stankoven, Raty, etc. have all been developing well, and some of them could end up star NHL players, and all of them have spent much of the season in the ahl.
Can you name a lot fo 21ist overall range picks that were ahead of Roy in the last 4 drafts ?I am aware of what I said.
If Hage is at Roy's level in his D+3, I will be disappointed.
Right?These rankings suck, as usual.

Either you underrate Roy a good bit or you don't know what a prospect is.
Right?
Demidov
Mesar
Hutson
Mailloux
Beck
This is the real order
It's the "disappointed " part of your post that was the problem. Roy has had similar or better development curve after his draft than the majority of players drafted in first rounds.Maybe I underrate Roy or you underrate Hage.
I expect Hage to have two great NCAA seasons, then start in the AHL and then do better than Roy did in the NHL.
Pick range is irrelevant, as Roy as evidenced.

Going with Fowler since #3 and until he's chosen.
Will be a key piece (top 5 contributor) on our next cup winning team if he reachs his upside.
Can Roy, Mailloux and co be that? I doubt it....
You think Reinbacher is not a top 5 prospect?
I am not surprised.
You have Hage really high, who still has a long way of muscle building and development. Injuries could happen and /or bad development.
Beck is massively underrated here... he's definitely ahead of Reinbacher for me atm.
Mesar same story, underrated and misunderstood.
I have him in my top 6 though... next year he'll be in the top 5 im sure
