McKeown is the guy for me if he's still available. Has top 4 potential which we still desperately need in the organization.
If he's gone I'd be fine with Barbashev but I don't think he'd be in the team's long term plans (JMO) so it'd be more about taking the best player available.
Thatcher Demko could be a good selection failing any decent defenseman prospects being available. With Berra's departure there really only is Gillies and Ortio that have NHL potential as a goaltender. We could use some more depth at goalie.
Marcus Petterson is the guy for me after that on defense. He's huge and has a lot of upside. Needs to fill out still.
Anton Karlsson could project to be a good 3rd line RW, so he's on my short list as well.
Andreas Englund would be a great later 2nd round pick, so hopefully he's available. He's 6'3" and already plays a physical game on D, but can still move the puck well. Similar projection to Nik Kronwall? I hope so.
