A few questions to everyone on the board that I’m really interested to hear people’s viewpoints on:
1. The organizational need versus best player available always surfaces prior to the draft. If you’re in the BPA camp and Connor, Merkley or Konecny are all available at #15, would you draft one of them knowing that they’re all centers and we’re pretty deep down the middle for a good few years with Monahan, Bennett, Backlund, and Jankowski? Basically putting aside positional need for the BPA.
2. Would you still go ahead and pick Merkley and Konecny knowing what Burke has said about the team needing to get bigger, as both aren’t the biggest?
3. Do you think the defensive prospect pool is deep enough (Wotherspoon, Sieloff, Morrison, Kanzig, Hickey) to not draft a defenseman at #15?
4. If you’re answer to the above is yes, then do you believe that anyone from the prospect pool has elite potential/quality that would justify you not drafting that defenseman at #15?
5. And finally, do you think it is worth moving up in this draft in order to draft Provorov or Werenski and possibly obtain an elite quality defenseman? And if so, what would you give up to make it happen?
