I sort of like the idea of taking a D man with both 1st round picks.
If someone like Dickinson falls to 9 and then could take a Henry Mews, or Leo Sahlin Wallenius with the Vancouver pick.
Reason being that D men simply take longer to develop, draft them now and hope they're ready in 2-3 years. Although, Dickinson may be an outlier as he is projected to be in the NHL fairly quickly.
And then since we wont exactly be a top team the next few years, should still have some good picks to get some forwards.
