16. Mikko Rantanen
Drafted 10th overall in 2015, Mikko Rantanen came with high expectations after a tremendous junior career in Finland. Rantanen didn’t play much with the big club as a rookie, as he played mostly in the AHL, where he was the co-winner of the Rookie of the Year. Rantanen would win a permanent roster spot the year after, and he would score 38 Points, but afterward, he would begin his ascent to greatness.
