MOST SKILLED
It's not easy to rank someone ahead of Auston Matthews in the skill department as he's also a special talent, but Laine is one of the most talented big men in the history of the draft - shot, sense, hands, stickhandling... all are of the elite variety.
"When you see what he accomplished offensively at all levels this season, it's hard to argue he's not the most skilled." said a senior scout. "Then you consider that he's 6-4 and just turned 18... pretty remarkable."
