I'd like us to draft D this year in the first round. Griffin Reinhart would be a very solid first-round selection, Cody Ceci as well. Both big guys with NHL-ready bodies and promising two-way abilities from what I've read. If both are gone at #10 (I doubt it) and also all of Dumba, Trouba and Rielly are gone, I'd be happy with a center too - Radek Faksa and Brendan Gaunce would both be good pickups IMO.
BTW we are at #11 at the moment:
1 CBJ 55
2 MTL 71
3 EDM 71
4 MIN 72
5 NYI 73
6 TOR 75
7 ANA 75
8 CAR 75
9 TBL 75
10 WPG 78
11 CGY 83
12 BUF 84
13 WSH 84
Yakupov to CBJ, Grigorenko to MTL and Dumba/Murray to EDM seem to be locks in my opinion. After that, it's pretty open ... I could see Toronto choose Galchenyuk though.

I'm a little torn right now. I'm still hoping for a miracle and the team makes the playoffs, but if not, I wouldn't
mind if they were able to drop a couple/three more places in the standings. Another five or six loses in a row may do that. Hate to sound like an Oilers' fan though where success is found by losing.
Reinhart would seem to be available at numbers 8-12.
