I would rather keep our pick and let the scouts who have done a pretty good job with our firsts get to pick a player.
Also you never know what happens with injuries that could derail a season.

This is the oldest team in the league.
The head coach won’t play 23 year old Adam Ruzicka more than 12 minutes a night, and he’s a 0.66 PPG player.
He’s not playing an 18-26th overall pick any significant minutes in the next five years.
So take advantage of Huberdeau at $5.9 and Weegar at $3.25, and go get them the extra forward they’ve needed for six years. Go get Patrick Kane. If you can’t swing that, get JVR. But get one of them.
Draft picks are for losers. We can hoard them when the core inevitably collapses under the weight of age and bloated contracts.
Today, everyone’s in their prime. So let’s ####in get it.
