You need a mix of all positions. Good C, good power winger, good skill winger, No 1 D, starting G. Outside of the skill winger, we're missing all of those. If we're picking 3rd and Drouin is there, go with Drouin.

Think you need to look at the positions that are usually the hardest to fill outside of the top 5 draft picks, and that is clearly first line centers.
If a player is clearly better (Drouin> Barkov/Lindholm) then you should take the clearly better player, but if the players are equal (Drouin=Mackinnon) then you should take the center.
I also think you could probably take that exact Avalanche team with a better coach and they are likely a playoff team. Sacco is just a bad coach and I expect a Montreal like turnaround from them next year.
