We’re assuming our only option is Columbus, let’s look at other potential candidates in the top 10:
Washington: are they retooling? And in what way? They’ve got 8th overall, but perhaps they know it’s essential to grab a player that will eventually replace the offense of Ovechkin and Backstrom.
Detroit: Have 9th and 18th overall. Lindholm for 9th and a 2nd rounder or 18th + a very good prospect and a 2nd/1st in 2024 wouldn’t be bad
STL: Have 10th, 25th, and 29th. Wouldn’t mind Hanifin as a candidate for one of those picks.
Also not forgetting Colombus has 22nd OA.
