So this is the Bedard draft. We get it. Bedard and then Fantili, Carlsson Michkov (unless he drops) and all sorts of centers and winger hybrids.
But what about the defense? Some drafts don't even have a defenseman in the top 15. Then a run on Allen, Gulyayev, Reinbacher and Dragicivec as well as my favourite Sandin-Pellikka.
But this draft has so much top end talent, the odds of a stud/star defenceman coming from the 2nd or 3rd rounds is entirely possible and more so actually likely.
So do you have a sleeper Defenceman in this draft? I love sleeper picks and this draft has more than a few on D that look like they'll be the kind of knock out D that win championships with. I also have a penchant for picking younger players because I feel as though they have so much more to grow in to
So I'd like to get a discussion going here if anyone is of the mind.
My top 5
Honourable mention: Bengtsson, Hell, Bonk, Price
Who would your top 5 be?

My top 5
- Brzustewicz. Solid, mobile. Putting up decent numbers but also has that look to a later bloomer about him. Composed blueliner
- Mackinnon. Playing solid hockey for Halifax right now. Some snarl and is absolutely not afraid to push his way in to things or protect his net. Decent shot
- Molendyk. Have loved this kid for some time. His skating is honestly incredible and his passing is arguably some of the best among NA defensemen available
- Strbak. Can't say enough about this kid or how much I like him.
- Mazden Leslie. If you've seen him play you'll know why. brain farts aside this guy is my favourite mid round sleeper
