RW the depth is absolutely abysmal. No top line potential. Horak IMO showed 2nd line upside at RW last year. I really like him as a player, he's very smart, has some skill, has gained strength and is one of our rare players who shoots right. His move from C to RW turns out to be pretty good longterm with the acquisition of Knight, our likelihood of grabbing a centre at #6 and our depth at C. I think we can see from this list why they are willing to give Nemisz more chances. We pretty much have nobody else. If Nemisz can rebound next fall he can certainly contend for a role in the future.
Based on this you'd say we should be looking for a #1 centre, #1 RW and top 3 d-man in this first round this year. Some would like us to draft three centres. I'd prefer C, D, D or C, RW, D.

Which is why I chose Lazar in the mock draft over Zykov although Lazar is a center move him to RW as a right handed shot. I think that Zykov may have better hands, but Lazar has better skating. You will need that speed on the first line with a Gaudreau/Baertchi - Monahan/#6 - Lazar.
