I'm in a similar place because I project both Coronato and Honzek as future middle 6 wingers, but not as top line talent. Even if they become borderline 1st line players like Toffoli, he was just traded for a 2nd + 3rd. Long story short, middle 6 wingers always seem to be available in free agency, or through trade.
The 5th-7th round pick probably has about a 20% chance to become a top line player or better. Moreover, it would better address an organizational need for centers and top D. Finally, I think it would help with all our top rookies being on ELCs at the same time, and peaking at the same time.
