And looking at that list, there's an awful lot of first overall picks, and guys taken in the top 10 in their draft classes. Just going to throw that out there for the sake of conversations about finding elite talent in the back half of the first round and beyond.

Just look at every cup winner in the last decade. Chicago, LA, Washington, Pittsburgh. Each time had at least one top-3 pick, and only LA did it with "only" one player taken in a top-5 slot.

I love how we’re so high on Necas being a stud when he’s still in the AHL but Lias is considered a near-bust around here. Same with Chytil who everyone’s up and down on.

The grass is always greener....

Umm...Strome?

And Howden is so good he’s centering two lines simultaneously???

Maybe he will finally score a goal if he plays 30 minutes

I gotta admit, I disagree on the 2018 vs. 2019 take and generally speaking, I think most people in the sport probably would take 2018 over 2019 without too much lost sleep.

I agree.

I would pretty easily take last year's top 10 over this year's top 10. And I'm not totally in love with the rest of the top 60 that I have for this draft compared to last year.
