In Time Machine on Tracking the Draft, former NHL GM and current Director of Scouting for TSN Craig Button tells a story regarding a past player and the NHL Draft while relating it to a player in this year's draft prospect pool. They could be Top 40 or beyond on the Craig's List. 

 
Lukas Cormier skates for the Charlottetown Islanders and skates well. He joins the play offensively and almost becomes like a 4th forward or a rover. He's not the biggest guy but either was Torey Krug who actually went undrafted and has scored double digit goals three times in his NHL career. 

Meanwhile we skipped ahead in time to take a peak at former first overall WHL bantam pick Dylan Guenther. The Edmonton Oil King forward will challenge for the top player out the west and make his way into the top three overall conversation next year.
