I'd go with something like this today:

 

#1. McDavid

#2. Eichel

#3. Boeser

#4. Barzal

#5. Werenski

#6. Rantanen 

#7. Hanifin

#8. Provorov

#9. Marner

#10 Chabot/Aho/Connor?

What a draft class. Even some of the guys not looking like great picks right now like Meier and Strome still have lots of time to develop.

 

I like DeBrusk a lot but look at what the Bruins did (or didn't do) with their 3 straight picks:

 

Could've drafted any of or all three of Barzal Chabot Boeser.
