As I've said in the Lindholm/Monahan thread, I'm happy to stay at 6 & hope Barkov drops to us. If he doesn't then one or both of Lindholm & Monahan will be available & from my limited viewings I like them both. There are some strong prospects available late in the round.

To guarantee getting Barkov at 4, is it worth it to miss out on a Compher/Klimchuck/Morrissey at 25-27? Is it really Barkov >>> Lindholm + Compher?
Yes. Now it would not be worth it if all three first rounders were involved but losing one to get the Player you want is worth it.

I get the whole stuffing the cupboards full and I think they will still do that. But Barkov is worth the removal of one of the other firsts. But not both.
