It should be one of sillinger or wallstedt imo. Both have long pedigrees (didn't come out of nowhere this season...) and a history of outcompeting their peers.

- lucius has profound skating issues that I struggle to reconcile.
- lysell has very limited offensive upside
- Cossa is intriguing but ultimately very raw still imo
- I think most of the top d men will be gone by our pick. I'm nervous about edvinsson too.
- mctavish has made a living physically dominating his young peers. Might have to reinvent to find success at next level.
- don't mind svechkov but think we can trade back and get him.

There's a chance someone like lambos or Stankovenmakes it to our 2nd pick with the crapshoot this is, so wouldn't use the first pick on them.

Edit: forgot coronato, who I think is fine but Sillinger is just better in every way except shooting left lol
