Better off packaging those picks to grab this years "Dougie Hamilton" hopefully in the form of a goalie or big/skilled right winger.

Or package up what we already have to move UP from 6/7/8 instead.
If you're picking outside of the top three does it matter? The top three are players we need. After that there are a whole bunch of maybes. If you're taking a maybe, take several maybes and hope you hit one of the best out of that bunch. The uncertainty in the published lists makes me believe you can get as good a player at 15 as at 5. It is up to our scouts to discern the order and be accurate in their assessments.
