- And a guy they would like

I maintain that there are two slippage candidates: Edvinsson and Guenther. I think Wallstedt could also be there.
I think Johnson could conceivably slip to 12 as well (although doubtful).
Yeah Edvinsson and Wallstedt give off wildcard vibes.

As for Guenther, I don't think any CHL forward who was 2 points per game in their draft year, and who was over 6'0 tall, has ever slipped out of the top 10. At least not since the 1990s.
So unless this is some legendary draft, or Guenther has huge irredeemable holes, I don't think he gets anywhere near 12.
