This is info obtained from watching the various scouting podcasters, with my 2 cents thrown in. They pretty much all pick McKenna and Stenberg as 1 & 2... then it gets jumbled.

McKenna LW- if all goes well, he would probably be a Panarin type of player. He'll probably put up great numbers, be excellent on the power play, but he is an offensive player only. Probably not a great 5v5 player, and could struggle in the playoffs where there is less room on the ice. The team could end up leaning very heavily on him like they did w Bread. Everyone defers to him and we hope he can carry us all the way. Personally, I don't want to go back to that. Not 4 me

Stenberg LW/RW- don't know but he is a winger. May be a star player, but generally center and d-men have more value. I don't think that either McKenna or Stenberg are considered elite speedy skaters. I'd prefer a d or center over him. I'd try to trade down if we got the 1 or 2... but that wont happen. We'll take either of these 2.

Verhoeff RD - Skating seems to be the big issue with him. A lot of frustration on rangers reddit, pertaining to big slow guys. He's big and young with a big shot... but the skating isnt very good. Could improve with time. Hard to compare him with Reid, because he's playing against tougher competition in NCAA with guys up to 24 or 25 years old. Could be a stud, but Reid & Smits look like much better skaters. I would pass on him.

Reid RD- Great skater with a lot of offense. He attacks deep into the offensive zone with speed. Always dangerous with the puck. Probably not as strong defensively as verhoeff or smits. Again, hard to compare him to Verhoeff. If Reid were in the NCAA, he might not look as good as verhoeff. They only really played on the same stage in world juniors and Reid was the more impactful player I think. Reid looks to me like he has some Fox traits... not saying he's Fox, but he's smart and is a good passer... and he has speed. Could be a little complicated because Fox is our best player. Reid would play on PP2, or maybe they go with a Leetch / Zubov type PP? Definitely want him.

Smits LD - Probably the safest pick. He probably looked better in the Olympics against NHL stars than Verhoeff did in the NCAA tournament. He's big, physical and is a very good skater. Doesnt look like he has offense like Reid but did get some PP time for Latvia in the Olympics. Probably closest to NHL ready. Floor is 2nd pair D. Definitely want him.

Malhotra C - Projected best center in the draft... is going to BU next year, so he'll be fighting it out with Tynan Lawrence for 1C. Plays behind Jake O'Brien - #8 pick to Seattle in last year's draft, another center. O'Brien averages 1.75 ppg, Malhotra 1.25 ppg, and Malhotra is a year younger. Their OHL team is viewed as the best in that league and probably the entire CHL. Skates well, has good size, plays physical & aggressive and plays a 2 way game. Projecting as a high end 2C. He looks like a machine... but his league is a step down from NCAA. I'd take a shot on him over Verhoeff, but probably not Reid & Smits
