Breaking the first round into tier lists

Owen Power is never going to be a franchise D man. Its just a bad year

There should be a tier between "Franchise player" and "top-six"
Eklund, Hughes, Beniers specifically are pretty safe guys with a ton of upside.
Could argue Clarke and Guenther there too.
Lambos and Lucius would be there if healthy.

Can I ask why you hate him so passionately? I liked him at the Worlds and his only obvious flaw to me was shockingly horrible pinching IQ. Whenever he pinched within the ozone it almost always results in an odd man rush the other way. He can figure that out though. Once he corrects that I see no significant problem in his game

Because no glaring flaws != being franchise. He is going to be a good NHL Dman
