San Jose, in their efforts to secure the 'local' kid makes you an offer: 2nd/3rd & 14th overall for the 1st pick.
Would you:
-Pick the sure thing in Celebrini?
-Take the 2nd & 14th, hoping to grab two high end players instead of 1?
Looking back historically, would you rather have:
-2023: Bedard or Fantilli & Yager?
-2022: Slavkovsky or Cooley & McGroarty?
-2021: Power or McTavish & Rosen?
-2020: Lafreniere or Stutzle & Holloway?
-2019: J. Hughes or Dach & York?
Clearly it depends on the year. Is Celebrini a Hughes or a Lafreniere? How high is the high-end depth in this draft?

Note: I'm not sure why but most of your first alternates were 3OA, not 2OA. Did you just pick them because you think they were the better choice? And if so, why not, say, Caulfield or Newhook over York in the 2019 14thOA pick?
