Logan Couture was once rated as one of the Sharks worst draft picks in their draft preview. Despite never being a great offensive producer he has become a good offensive producer at the NHL level and good two player.

IMO Domi and Lazar are both worth trading the Penguins pick to move up. If you can come out of the first round with Lindholm/Monahan and Lazar/Domi it sets up to be a pretty good draft to start a rebuilding process and hopefully something like a Carter/Richards or Perry/Getzlaf draft (wishful thinking but at the time I don't know if anyone realized those players would turn out to be so influential).
