Would be interesting.

I could see Buffalo looking at it.

If they end up at 3/4 and their are no D-Men left on the board I think they may be interested.

Hamilton for that pick probably gets it done since they need RH d-men desperately and have some decent forwards already plus Mittelstadt and Nylander on the way.

It would hurt to do but I would think about it as a Flames fan. Hamonic, Stone, Andersson is still pretty good RH d- depth.

My worry would be that as good as Tkachuk looked in this tourney, he's not exactly lighting it up at BU compared to other top 5 picks out of college. He has 14 points in 20 games. As a comparison Eichel had 71 in 40 GP in his draft year at BU. Matthew is probably the better Tkachuk here and Hamilton is likely an over-payment.
