So, I would not mind if we dropped down ~5 spots and picked up another good pick, or if we picked up another draft choice in the 22-28 range... Keeping in mind that I have not seen anyone play, I just have this feeling that Larsson in particular could be the gem. All 3 of those guys sound like Brodie to me... I think I would also be happy with taking Svechnikov at 15, unless by some miracle the Finnish kid drops.

Not a big fan of trading down out of top 15 as the talent level starts dropping off a little. Unless the Flames are high on Werenski and he falls into their lap it doesn't look like good value picking a defeneman at 15. There are a couple RH forwards in Barzal, Boeser, and Merkley available. I would opt to go that route and use the 2nd round picks on defensemen as there seems to be a glut of talented but a little undersized defensemen in that range and you have to hope one or two of them turn out to be players.
