Yes we do need a big hitter, but defensemen are tough to draft because they take so long to develop and its hard to predict who will have the highest ceiling 5-6 years down the road. Would love it if we use 2 or even all 3 2nd rounders on defensemen and fill the stables and then see who pans out.

I'm high on that idea, since I agree fully that they take so long to develop. And the reality is most don't develop into NHLers.
