Wouldn't shock me if we did pick Barzal. I remember reading we didn't think Tkachuk would be available at 6, so there's at least a little precedent that we're willing to jump at the chance to draft someone we thought would go earlier. I also remember reading a lot about Chabot leading up to the draft, although I can't remember how much of that was insiders talking about the team vs. forum speculation. My money's on Chabot as our guy if we stay put though - especially since we were really in need of young D at that point.
