Of course anything could happen . But the odds of getting a franchise altering D at 8 are extremely slim (as are the odds of getting any franchise altering talent at that spot )
Well, if we look at past drafts that doesn't really ring true. Erik Karlsson went 15th overall. Josi 38th overall. Makar went 4th which isn't that far off 8th. Subban 43 overall and Weber 49. Al MacInnis went 15 overall. Ray Bourque 8th overall. Letang went 67 overall, I can go on and on.
