Honestly probably. Owen Power should be top 3 pretty much any way you slice it. Hughes or Clarke slipping out of the top 6 would be a major surprise, both could go top 5. Ottawa currently can't pick worse than 4th, and even if Anaheim falls below them it's still a top 5 pick. One of the big 3 forwards is likely available at 5 imo, and in the small case that all of Beniers/Eklund/Guenther are gone, Johnson or Clarke aren't a bad consolation prize.
I would like to point out that Seattle's 1st round pick has by default, the 3rd best odds of winning the lottery.
The Seattle pick will finish no worse than 5th overall.
If Ottawa passes Anaheim in the standings, which I can see happening, then we would have a 20.6% chance of picking 6th overall.
So, there's an outside chance our pick is not in the top 5.
After seeing what happened with last year's lottery, I feel the need to take into account the worst case scenario for our 1st round pick.
Lotteries aren't meant to be won
It's why I don't like going to casinos or buying lottery tickets
