So I think you have some upside but more questions than ever.
Where the draft is weak in my view is at the top end. But then I think there is a sizable cluster of quality players throughout the first round - but again with more question marks and risks than is typical.

This all screams for as many lottery tickets as possible, so I think trading down makes sense. If you are trading a player for picks, take multiple picks this year, as opposed to looking for higher fewer picks next year (not that the option is better, just how I would value it - so two 2nds this year might be preferable to a late first next year... ir this year, for that matter). What if you hit on a Jamie Benn?
