If we win the lottery, trade down to 2nd or 3rd. Or just take the guy we want/need in Nathan MacKinnon with the 1st overall pick.
I will have an aneurism if we take a d-man with our pick.
Here's a list of all d-men drafted in the top 10 from 2001-2010:
Gudbranson
McIlrath
Hedman
Ekman-Larsson
Cowen
Doughty
Bogosian
Pietrangelo
Schenn
Hickey
Alzer
Ellerby
E. Johnson
J. Johnson
Lee
Barker
Smid
Valabik
Suter
Coburn
Phaneuf
Bouwmeester
Pitkanen
Whitney
Komisarek
So what... 6 home runs there? Out of 25? 24%
We don't need an NHL player with our 1st rounder this year, we need an elite superstar. We need a new face for this franchise with the absence of Iginla.
