Looking at the top 10, we've got 4 defenders, 3 wingers, 2 centres, and a goalie

Considering that 1 of those 2 Cs is already on the team, we are probably looking at our system currently having  a total of 1 non-NHL C that projects to being even an NHL player (Krebs. Looks better than pre-Eichel trade, though). 

The system needs high-end centres. This draft is deep for centres. Adams hasn't drafted a notable C in two drafts. We have 3 first round picks - we need to see that as a point of emphasis in the looming draft. 

Address that area and the pool is looking really solid.

I like your list except for a couple of quibbles.  Fitzgerald, Cederqvist and Costantini have played their way on to this list, while Biro not so much.  Costantini has 9 pts in his first 11 college games.  Cedergvist has 11 pts in 18 SHL games.  Fitz is the shutdown RHD for the Amerks, but has now added some O.  I’m also not sure that Levi is better then Portillo.  I also think R2 will make more of an impact as this season progresses.
 

My updated list

1-5.  Power, Cozens, Quinn, Krebs, JJP

6-10. Samuelsson, Bryson, R2, Rosen, Johnson

11-15. Levi, Portillo, Laaksonen, UPL, Weissbach

16-20. Poltapov, Kisakov, Novikov, Nadeau, Costantini

21-25. Bloom, Murray, Fitzgerald, Cedergvist, Rousek, 

26-30. Pekar, Huglen, Van Barnekow, Sardarian, Marjala,

No issues with the additions. I just rearranged the original list.

Id arm wrestle you over Levi and Poltapov being too low, though 😜

It’s nice having guys around 15 who could be in the convo for 10 spots higher.

When I do these lists I weigh both upside and time to the NHL.  Because of that I tend to downgrade goaltenders because of how long their development curves can be.  Portillo and Levi may not turn pro for another 2 years and then it could be 2-3 more years in the minors before their ready.
