If we are trading with Philly, I would demand Farabee, he looks like a stud. Not that frost isnt good I just worry that he will be a 2C when he tops out, but possibly a 3C. Farabee looks like he will be a top 6 guy who can compliment a top line. I want Patrick too, I wonder if him and Bennett might be worth discussing with Philly. Patrick is blocked in Philly if he's even healthy. Bennett is a Philly style player who slots in very well as a utility player in their bottom 6

I think myers will carry too much value to target from them and frost will just get buried behind backlund. A guy like patrick could play 2RW or 3C depending on how things shake out. His health obviously complicates things but if those issues didnt exist, he'd be untouchable. It's a bit if a gamble but I feel like Farabee is a sure thing. Patrick muddies the waters but you arent getting a true 1C back, maybe patrick develops into one. With that 25th overall pick, you could maybe draft a dman. I'd be going dmen with both 1st picks assuming BPA if we landed patrick, farabee and hall. Add those guys to lindholm, tkachuk and Monahan and you have a really good and young top 6.
Your future at D is covered with Hanifin, Andersson, valimaki and the two 1sts you hopefully use on D if the players are good enough.
