I'm an advocate of drafting BPA.
I would also like to see some areas of weakness in our prospect pool addressed.
Areas of weakness I perceive are:
-lack of players with both high-end skill and size
-lack of a stud D prospect (top pairing potential)
-lack of right-handed shots
-RW
Looking at where we project to draft & the players that project to be in that range, I believe we have an opportunity to draft both BPA and to fill an organisational need. If either Ekblad or Reinhart are on the board, and their stock hasn't plummeted in the months leading up to the draft, I'd be fairly pissed off if we picked someone else.
