Lekki - A- (ranked around that area by most and no major qualms with his game, not my absolute favorite, but solid pick)
Yurov - B+ (haven't seen the most of Yurov, but he seems to be a safe pick; fairly high ceiling
and floor which makes it pretty hard to hate the pick. Uncertainty factor knocks it down a tad for me)
Lambert - A+ (In love with this player and his potential, especially at 11. A little development in his shot and a couple other minor kinks to fix and he's one of the best players to come out of this draft, imo)
Miro (as in Miroshnichenko?) - D (Just think you can get him far lower and there are major question marks there)
Gauthier - A (A+ based on the fact that he's rated where he is. I'm not quite that high on him personally, but I'm no scout, so)
Kasper - B (similar to Yurov reasoning, just on a lower level)
Korchinski - C (Not a big fan. Incredibly smooth skater, it makes me want to love him, but has an absolute muffin from what I've seen and is prone to bad decision making on small and large scale)
Mateychuk - B- (A lot to like, but I've seen multiple outlets/independent scouts question the translatability of his game and I sometimes get the vibe that effort is being credited as effectiveness on the defensive end)
Geekie - F+ (Gave the plus on the off chance that he surprises and surpasses what I view to be his ceiling - and I don't even think he'll hit that. Just don't like him at 11 at all.)
Thoughts would depend on who's available at the time of selection obviously, but this would be my general happiness level with each of these guys at 11 heading in blind. You could probably ask me in a week and get a different answer (might be being to harsh on some guys, too high on others) but this is about where I stand at the moment.
Nazar, Mintyukov, and Savoie are guys that I'd probably have in the B+ to A+ range as well
