Sigh. The draft isn't until the end of June, but the lottery is Saturday. McKenzie released his top 15 today.
B's pick is 14 again. 1% chance at #1, 1.1% chance at #2 and 1.3% chance at #3.
The San Jose pick is currently 20, but it could change. If they advance to the conference finals it will end up 27-30. The highest it could get is 18 the Preds and Bolts advance to the conference finals. Go Bolts and Ducks/Preds!
Anyways, here's McKenzie's current top 15 based on his survey of scouts. The top 6 seem pretty firm, in some order (Laine has closed the gap on Matthews) but it gets volatile after that. The D prospects are all over the place.
1. Auston Matthews, F
2. Patrik Laine, F
3. Jesse Puljujarvi, F
4. Matthew Tkachuk, F
5. Pierre-Luc Dubois, F
6. Alex Nylander, F
7. Olli Juolevi, D
8. Mikhail Sergachev, D
9. Jakob Chychrun, D
10. Clayton Keller, F
11. Tyson Jost, F
12. Jake Bean, D
13. Logan Brown, F
14. Charles McAvoy, D
15. Michael McLeod, F
