As much as I agree that Kakko is better than Hughes, Kakko most likely still isn't going #1.
Podkolzin probably doesn't go to Edmonton, he's locked into a KHL contract right now for 2 more seasons and Edmonton needs wingers to play now. As much as again I agree its a fit with Holland's patient approach, Edmonton ownership isn't patient and they're incredibly stupid anyways. Could see Detroit taking a chance on him, Yzerman likes his Russians and has the patience to wait the 2 years for him to come over. Could see them going Turcotte or Podkolzin.
Anaheim likely isn't taking a forward in the top 10. They're loaded with forward prospects, but they're in desperate need of right handed d-man on the NHL roster and in the system. Soderstrom seems to be the perfect fit for them at #9. I doubt Krebs is taken in the top 10 anyways, he might be the guy that slides down this year.
Suzuki isn't going top 10. He's a top 20 guy, and he's not jumping over guys like Boldy or Caufield.
How don't you have Cole Caufield in the top 10? He's a goal scoring machine.. similar to your fan boy DeBrincat.
I feel like your top 5 are good but your 5-10 is just a crapshoot
