If Wahlstrom is 5th on our list and Kotkaniemi is 8th, it would be dumb to take Kotkaniemi 5th if Wahlstrom is on the board. Nobody is suggesting we pass a player we like more for a player who plays a position we like more. We’re talking about trading down and getting additional assets.
Interesting Button interview post U18. He feels Dobson, Bouchard, and Hughes are ahead of Bodqvist. Likes Tkachuk ahead of Zadina.

I'm just getting a sense that there is a better chance of Wahlstrom being available at 9 than Kotkaniemi.
Zadina more likely to be available at 5 than Tkachuk as well? Interesting.
