Instead of going out and getting a Vet such as Brown, I would rather draft someone to fill the need. I've already said "Mantha" a number of times but a big 6'4" Winger, drafted in the same year, would hopefully make the team with Lindholm in 2014 and, assuming they complement each other, give us our future top line.
I would also target Morin with this specific thinking of needing size+skill in our prospect pool.
I know it sounds very Sutter-ish to want to target these guys but it sounds like they are big body players who have legit skill to become NHLers. I would rather get a big skilled guy like Mantha than a small skilled guy like Petan.
