I'd like to see one of 2 extremes...

Option A : Treliving moves the pick in a conservative play... shorting the development curve by picking up an established, Top 6 winger... ideally, a RW to play on the top line.

I'm not sure which players might make sense, necessarily... but maybe someone like Brendan Gallagher, TJ Oshie, Mark Stone, Blake Wheeler or Wayne Simmonds (and I'm not necessarily thinking 1-for-1 trade, here... just the concept)

Option B : Treliving keeps the pick and swings for the fences... they take the player they feel has the highest potential upside, even if there's some risk involved.

Either approach is fine with me... I'd rather BT not make a safe pick at #6 by taking a forward or D without dominant top line upside.
