Obviously that holds true at 6.Possible to trade down, but I doubt it, as other GMs know the grouping is so close.

I completely agree with the bolded.
As far as underrating the D/Sergachev, I just think people are focused on the need for top 6 forwards. Also the fact there is no clear cut top D in the draft has people unsure who to lean towards.
I personally would be fine with landing a D but only if that's their BPA. I trust their scouting.
