Not sure how a top 10 draft pick is riskier than a player that has been sidelined almost every season for some form of injury and most recently has missed an entire year of development due to migraines that could be the result of concussions.
In my opinion Patrick is just a tier above guys like Puljujarvi, alias Anderson, Casey Middlestat, Sam Bennett as former high picks that either haven’t panned out or have huge question marks.

Well then, can we please just add a small piece to Bennett and trade him for Patrick then?
