Based on the playoffs and last year’s draft I see smaller skilled wingers dropping in the draft this year. Size and strength is being viewed as an asset come playoff time. Players like Lekkermaki and Kermell were ranked in the top 10 dropped to the mid-teens last year. Teams also seem to value Defenseman and Centres over perceived skill BPA. I could see Wood, Barlow, But and Honzek going before Benson and Cristall. Simashev maybe picked higher than expected. Before ASP? GM’s are seeing guys like Mitch Marner tear up the league during the season and completely go MIA in the playoffs. This draft will be interesting after the top 5 players go. I don’t see Michkov getting past 5th though. Him and Berard are undersized but special talents. It’s the next undersized skill tier that will drop.
