Its May 30th 2019. The leafs have just won the Stanley Cup over the Winnipeg Jets in a fantastic 7 game series. Gary Bettman had enough of this Canadian takeover bullshit. He blows his whistle and announces a NHL Shutdown and commencing the first ever NHL team redraft. After an Equal Opportunity lottery the top 10 goes as follows:
Chicago Blackhawks
New York Rangers
Pittsburgh Penguins
Detroit Red Wings
Edmonton Oilers
Los Angeles Kings
Boston Bruins
Vegas Golden Knights
Montreal Canadiens
Tampa Bay Lightning

GM's of each of these teams must pick a player that not only can compete and bring success to the team, but also build a franchise and a roster around.
Do your thing Armchair. Fullfill bettman's long time dream and draft the top 10 of the 1st ever commencement of the NHL Blow up draft

Taking age into account:

1. McDavid
2. Dahlin
3. Crosby (Pittsburgh would likely still take him at age 30 simply because he's the face of the franchise)
4. Eichel
5. Matthews
6. Kucherov
7. MacKinnon
8. Barkov
9. Jones
10. Point

EDIT: Replace Point with Scheifele

Obvsiously we can go all day with eichel matthews arguement but why waste the breathe. Other than that it looks decent. Point is questionable other than Hometeam advantage

#10 was a tough decision. Could've gone with Point, Provorov, Barzal, Laine, Rantanen, Werenski, etc.

Rod. You forgot to add in Bettman draft rules. Since the Leafs and Jets are Canadian teams that made the final, those two teams don't select till the the draft's 20nd round, and have a cap 50m.

Chicago: Connor McDavid (duh)
New York: Rasmus Dahlin (the McDavid of defence, start building from the back end)
Pittsburgh: Sidney Crosby (not sure if the city could live without him)
Detroit Red Wings: Erik Karlsson (they could have an actual defender for the first time since Lidstrom)
Edmonton Oilers: Jack Eichel (they’ll just pretend they never won the lottery in 2015)
Los Angeles Kings: Auston Matthews (close enough to Arizona for him)
Boston Bruins: Nathan MacKinnon (gotta start building the leagues top line again)
Vegas Golden Knights: Mark Schiefle (if you can’t beat em, join em)
Montreal Canadiens: Alex Barkov (they could use a damn center for a change)
Tampa Bay Lightning: Nikita Kucherov (Vic Hedman could slot in here, but they’ll go with the higher profile Kuch)
