It's going to he a hard move, I've been reading a lot and watching a lot of videos and scouting reports and it's really hard not too see how social drouin is going to be. Mackinnon is more of a scoring center then a playmaker, but he has elite speed and hands as well. You can't go wrong with either guy, but I think drouin will be the better player in the NHL.
Hopefully we get 3rd overall actually so we don't have the pressure of a 1st overall pick and being known as the savior for Iginla leaving. Also I don't know how people think barkov is slow, he's big and fast his skating is not a issue plus he's 17 tearing up a men's league. We will get a good player as long as we keep losing.
It's what we do with the other picks that will define this draft for us. We need to nail them.

MacKinnon with Baertschi would be a good combo as Sven is a pretty good passer, I'd say he is a playmaker before goal scorer, though he can score too.
