Had they kept Mitchell and let him wear the C, or even Bieksa, I think they'd be better off. Anyway, my point is, there's no need to put a letter on Henrik, but there's no denying that he's a superior talent.
NHL GMs wouldn't let him sneak out of the Top 5.

I think that one could legitimately argue that his value is diminished in these circumstances because it is impossible (highly unlikely) to draft both he and Daniel to the same team. Obviously he is still a talented player on his own but it does make him a bit of an unknown quantity.
