It would be great for the Flanes to find another pick in that top 10-15 range. If not, I think you’re likely dealing with a typical bottom of the first round pick, which is fine and valuable but no where near a good shot at a sure-fire NHLer let alone an impact one.

I dont buy this description at all. Interesting players to the bottom if the second round. After the second seems to be another drop off around the fourth lots of good at everything special at nothing kinds of players. Good bet at least a few of those fill out rosters.
Now I certainly get going after high end skill but you have to fill an entire roster and one of the things that bothered me most about trelivings tenure was constantly sending out seconds trying to patch holes on the team.
Getting those third line fourth line and third pairing guys from your own drafts is how we build depth. One of the things i have noticed on message boards is well you can get depth players easily? No. They always come at an expense would much rather have the option of someone from the A. Colorado has struggled to fill their second line center position and the team is a whole lot weaker because if it.
