When it comes to 15, the problem is that none of the player from 9-25 have a huge amount of size. Svechnikov is the only one over 6'1.5" and he's a hair under 6-2.

A guy like Gabriel Carlsson might be an option (6-4 D-man)

It's difficult because the D that are available in that range (Zboril, Roy, Kylington, Chabot, Juulsen) are the same size as TJ Brodie or smaller, which doesn't help in a playoff series against Anaheim. The others that are bigger are long term projects that have big gaps in their games.

Because of that I would actually prefer a forward in round one and target one of Svechnikov, Sprong, or Harkins (or any of the fallers from the top 10)
