If Power does indeed fall out of that top spot, it'll be interesting to see where he falls to. I fully expect the Ducks to take whichever of Guenther, Beniers or Eklund are available, and an argument could be made to take Edvinsson or Luke Hughes over Power.

IMO, if I had the choice, I'd take Power, but I think there's a chance that he falls.

If Raty falls that far, i'd love to see him in Columbus. Maybe it's because i have an affinity with Finns. If we get his fear of the middle of the ice out of his head, he'd be a great player for us.

He's one of the more interesting prospects in this whole draft. I've seen some "analysts" list him as a mid 2nd rounder.

Eklund is a wing at the NHL level, especially given his speed and shiftiness, not a ceneter

Johnson is LW
Cuelemans is RHD
Eklund, Lucius, Sillinger, Tuomaala, Duke are all wings at next level.
