Unless we trade up or down, we are drafting a big forward at 15. Either someone falls or Boeser/Svechnikov... People talking about Merkley, Konecny, etc are ignoring the fact that all else being equal, they will go with size. And since 12-20 are all about equal, it will be size. For us to draft a defenseman, we would have to move up or move down. Nobody makes sense at 15, given what else is available.
