If Edm wins, expect the lottery rules to change drastically next season.
Hoping and praying. But if we don't win, just stick with the 4th overall. We're guaranteed to get a Great player, regardless. I don't want to give up Sven just to move up 1-2 spots. NOT worth it for the very small jump in talent it would grant us.
Seeing the weapons we have on the forward ranks going into next season that could develop into top 6 impact players - Gaudreau, Monahan (1st line potential), Sven, Poirier, Granlund, even Colborne - I wouldn't mind taking Ekblad with the 1st overall if we win. He'll be our weapon from the back end and will shore up our top 3 with two solid pieces already in place.
