Yes please. 40 points as a shut down defencemen on a BRETT SUTTER coached awful rebels team. When he plays against his peers (ie top prospects game) his size speed and ability to control the game was noticeable against smaller slower competition.

And nobody is arguing that, you will find on CP most advocate drafting BPA (unless you are the Oilers and the best player is a soft forward every season).
I think most here would be fine with Fleury in the 6-10 range if we pick there.
The issue is if we do pick at 5 that means at least one of Dal Colle, Draisaitl, Ekblad, Bennett, or Reinhart are left and based on all reports those 5 players are better than Fleury.
That is all everybody is arguing, not sure why you think we have some vendetta against d-men or Fleury because of this.
