Eklund seizes a top six role (and is legitimately a top nine player NHL-wide, with clear room to grow).
At least one other good prospect graduates to the NHL permanently (Mukhamadullin, Gushchin, Bordeleau, etc).
At least one depth prospect graduates to the NHL permanently (Thrun, Okhotiuk, Emberson, Makiniemi, Chrona, Robins, Coe, Wiesblatt, etc).
I wouldn't really quibble about who goes into which basket. That's besides the point.

We add at least two top-100 draft picks and a couple of lottery tickets in the mid-rounds (trade for Barabanov, Duclair, Kunin, Hoffman, Granlund, Rutta, etc). Getting a Goodrow-esque return (late 1st for a player plus mid-round pick) would be even better.
Ideally, we go into the draft with three-four 1sts, two-three 2nds, and three-four mid-round picks. I place no consideration on the lottery results, and I suspect we finish in the bottom three at best, no matter what we do.

No one gets a significant extension (4+ years) unless Bordeleau or Thrun really catch fire.
