We need to find elite.
I'm voting Carels - we need a 1LD as much as we need a 1C and Carels is special in that regard: Western Canadian kid who plays hard.
Paired with Parekh - that's 10+ years, 25 minutes a night of elite.
Lawrence would be the exception - if the adjustment to NCAA is blip and he remains a 1C possibility.

Elite might not be an option if they're not drafting in the top 2 or 3 spots.
Just the reality of the situation.
Many think Malhotra's recent trajectory could put him on the path to being a 2C.
Banking everything on Reschny panning out doesn't seem wise. It's a numbers game so we should be stockpiling at center and not banking on a thin crop because the scouting in one guy looks encouraging.
Carels would be fine but its also not as simple as Bing bang boom, top pairing for a decade. Both players still need to pan out and zayne is still finding his way to even being an nhler.
