Thing is, it is a lot easier to discuss the #6 pick than the other two. Depending on the outcome of the playoffs, the STL pick could be anywhere from 20-30 and the Pens pick could be anywhere from 25-30.
Personally, I would be willing to package up one of our two late first round picks to jump up the draft and acquire MacKinnon. The only way I see that happening is if Jones and Drouin go 1 and 2 and then Tampa may be willing to trade down and grab Nurse + someone in the 20s.
Having said that, I am assuming that we pick a C with our first pick. Our other two picks I would really like go toward finding a D and either another C or RW.
I like the looks of Lazar and Morin for those late picks. Mueller also sounds like a big Dman with fast feet.
Stay away from goalies.
