The big surprise is really at the level of the first ranking, that of North American players.
The majority of experts consider that there is a clear-cut top six for the next selection session.
It consists of Bedard, Fantilli, Carlsson, Michkov, Smith, and Benson.
However, according to the NHL's official scouting bureau, Zach Benson is strangely behind Wood and Leonard, and possibly Dvorsky and Sale.
It would be a big surprise if he slips like this, probably due to his 5-foot-10-inch height, and it would be reminiscent of what happened with Trevor Zegras in 2019.
It could be quite a steal if Benson falls out of the top eight. A story to keep an eye on.
