If we could draft Mitch Marner would you?

Frankly I think I'd rather have Tkachuk. But I wouldn't hate adding a Marner.

Well the list of tiny centres taken top 10 isn't a particularly long one. PM Bouchard is one of the few. If history is any indication Keller may fall out of the top 10 this year.

Well Tkachuk's point totals are on a completely different level than Nystrom. And from having watched both their skill levels are not even close to comparable.

If we could draft Daniel Briere, I would trade #6 + #35 + #53 + #55 for that player.

To each their own I guess.
