We have been going over this for so long now it's kind of exhausting trying to determine who they may have penciled in at this point or who's on their short list and I for one can't wait to finally get to June 24 to finally get some closure.
No they won't be drafting based on need. But as I said its much easier to draft a Keller type small, forward with sublime skills than it is to draft a top pairing dman, 1st line power forward or big, top two line centre. Therefore IMO he isn't BPA at #6. There are rarer and more valuable commodities available at #6.
