This part of the draft is starting to have me more interested than the 1st round. We'll be getting a stud, no matter if we pick 1st or 9th. But the 2nd round onwards makes things more interesting. I'm working off the likelyhood that we have Dallas' 2nd, not their 1st. Worst scenario and all that. Those extra 2nd round picks will come in handy if we see a guy dropping in the 2nd round and want to trade up to get him, a la what we did to get Kylington. Or maybe we trade up using 2/3 of the picks and get into the 1st round?
I'd be very tempted to grab Hart if he's still available. I know we have Gillies and McDonald, but I don't think you can ever have too many goalie prospects in the system. Wouldn't put it past them after they took McDonald out of the blue a couple of years ago either. Saying that though, I reckon a team that is lacking in goalie prospects might well take him early in the 2nd. Like the look of Tyler Benson as well.
