It could also be possible that Grigs falls from here to draft day, and the only reasons that would justify this are : he's not considered that superstar talent so he's one amongst the bunch of the top 8-10 of the best available OR a player currently behind solidifies his position to the point that he can be considered a superstar talent (could be more than one).
But at this point, the general consensus is that there's a crystalized top 2, with a few people hating on Grigorenko, but it's been proven most of the argument over the Grigs hate is related to his lingering injury and off-base perception.

Galchenyuk has that elite talent potential as well. Going into the year he was going to challenge Yakupov for top spot.

And Grigorenko is definitely not the head case that Filatov is/was.

Kovalev had no hockey IQ, and below average vision?
