It's pretty clear what, actually.
The organization is too risk-averse.
Someone in the draft thread mentioned that Owen Power could start next season as the #6.
That is the sort of risk aversion I am talking about.
If we were to draft Owen Power we should be moving out bodies and playing a kid like Power as our #1D. Like the Panthers did with Ekblad. Like the Sabres did with Dahlin.
Like the Avs did with Makar .
If we suck we suck, but it would be an investment.
But you just
know Power would be our #6D if we drafted him. Then maybe 6 years later he might be our #4 while we promote the underwhelming vet Hanifin to the top pair.
