Mikko Rantanen starts the 10th-slot build, anchoring a balanced core with Jason Robertson and Wyatt Johnston powering the Stars’ wheelhouse, while Quinn Hughes stabilizes the back end. Seth Jarvis adds Carolina’s high-upside winger dynamic and Cutter Gauthier supplies a ceiling-raise in Anaheim. The plan leans into broad category balance, diversifying risk with mid-round defense and strategic bench picks as camp news nears.
