I wouldn't hate the MBN pick, i think i'd learn to like it over time but as is, i'd propably be a bit disappointed and question why they didn't take the more aggressive approach given the talent that they have now and the talent that they are lacking at the top of the line-up. Safe floor is still not the worst choice, prospects can always bust and a GM that might feel even remotely on the hot-seat (i don't think GMBM does, btw) is always happy to just get something from the draft to show for it. But as opposed to Leonard, you don't really see the elite tools there. There is a fairly rounded prospect that does have a good shot but i wouldn't descrive his shot close to being elite (see: Eiserman). He does a lot of things well and it'd be surprising if he didn't atleast some day show up on NHL roster. Think someone called him the best forechecker in this draft. But i feel like if you are to take a winger, i'd want a guy that has that elite tool in his toolbox. Infact, even if i'm looking at a forward in general, i'd want that. That's why moving up certainly would be the best outcome, but we rarely get to know if that was ever even an possibility.
Catton for example has elite offensive tools. Helenius has his smarts and defensive game. Iginla has his shot and hands. Eiserman has his shot. These players aren't sure-fire NHL'ers but that's a risk i'd be willing to take for the chance to get something special. Apart from Eiserman none of these players will be there at 17 and even Eiserman is a huge long-shot. At 17 i think the boom-or-bust prospect is propably Terik Parascak given i'd put his IQ as one of the best in the draft and would describe it as an elite tool but he does have big shortcomings elsewhere (skating). But he's really young. Jiricek is intriguing for me given he's so young that he barely makes the cut for this draft, but again, playing in defensive role in Czech league makes him hard to evaluate. I really liked his game given he's big, excellent skater and a really good passer. As mentioned above, he's also really young and still really lean, which makes me wonder if there is more once he grows into that body more. He does have those (knee) injury red flags which make me wonder, but Capitals in the past have looked past those.
A+ draft would definitely be one where they manage to get into the ~top-12 or top-13 range and snag one of the fallers. Preferably a D but that's going to be a tough ask.
