Well it's not about need... I'm not expecting it or desperately hoping for it. But it would be pretty awesome to win it! It's always most desirable for your team to be in the most advantageous position possible.

We aren't exactly loaded up on wingers either, though. Kane is alright, Ennis is a big question mark after he missed most of this season (and didn't look great before that). Reinhart is great in front of the net, but being able to drop a sniper like Laine or Puljujarvi on to the wing with Eichel could be deadly.

I don't think the drop off between 5th and 8th is that big, and man would it be sweet to laugh at the other three teams.
Agreed, though it feels wrong.

And then we draft Rubtsov because there's no pressure to take Tkachuk/Nylander... and he ends up as good as Puljujarvi

I give it a 5....3 points for picking 6th but two bonus points for Vancouver and Edmonton missing the top three
