Let's say Tim Erixon remained a flame and was happy to be here, is he in our top 4 right now?

Maybe if we are drafting around the 10 to 15 mark (hopefully more like 20th spot so we make the playoffs!!), then we pick a D in the first round this year or a RW, since there seems to be more of those available around that range.

I agree that we should be drafting D and RW heavy this year. More D than RW though, ie the first 2 rounds should be for a D unless there is clearly a better player available.
