It might be time to start looking at the higher-end players in the draft.
I see them in the top 10 but not the top 5.

Silver lining, adding a big right shot up front with skill like Vilardi if he slips or Tippett or one of the big dmen like Hague, Valimaki or Foote would soften the blow a bit. I agree with the earlier post that it's a decent draft... not amazing but OK.

Also I think moving Versteeg, Elliott and Engelland out should bring in a few mid round picks and I feel like unless you are chasing a division title moving UFAs should be a more standard practice for teams that are building.
