2017 - Nolan Patrick -> Petterson, Heiskanen, Makar
2016 - laine -> m tkachuk
2015 - Eichel -> rantanen, marner
2014 - Sam Reinhart -> Draistl
2013 - jon drouin -> Seth Jones, barkov
2012 - Galchenyuk -> Forsberg, Morgan Reilly

Obviously every year is different and byfield could also end up the best player in the draft at a position more valuable than Laf too.


I don't think anyone thinks byfield is bad, but there is a poll on HFBoards between stutzle and byfield, and it has stutzle ahead by just a few votes. So there seems to be a split opinion on those two amongst fans:

Recency bias. Stutzle played on a top DEL team and was the go to guy for Germany.

Byfield carries a putrid Sudbury team and then had a poor world junior. Whiiiiiich isn’t all that surprising given his age and how Hockey Canada handles their very young players who make that squad.

I’d love stutzle too...if I had the 3rd pick

Feel free to explain how Byfield's season was more impressive than Stutzle's considering Stutzle played in a more competitive league. And how exactly was Sudbury putrid? Pretty sure they won their division. If you like Byfield at 2 that's great and all, but in no way should it be a forgone conclusion that he should be the 2nd pick.

Top two scorers after byfield on that team were:

David levin, a 5th year ohl undrafted player with 73 points in 57 games.
Blake Murray, 6th round pick in 2019 with 72 points in 63 games.

Next closest was McCauley Carsen, another undrafted 5th year player with 50 points in 73 games.
