Here is where it gets interesting...

You make an argument for all Levshunov, Silayev, Lindstrom, Dickinson, Buium - even some votes for Helenius, Parekh, Yakemchuk, Catton, Eiserman and Iginla could sneak in and not be considered off the board pick.

That said, for me its a close one between Levshunov, Silayev, Lindstrom. Going Levshunov.

Voted Levshunov. Having Faber turn into superman has made this way less of a risky pick, as Faber can hold down the first pairing two way spot against the top lines, allowing Levshunov TOI against lesser opponents. Hopefully, Levshunov's offense carries into the NHL. Nothing wrong with points from the back end.

I just don't know enough about Lindstrom. Great size and speed, but the injuries are worrying, and I'm not sure he wasn't doing well in junior just because he was bigger, faster , and stronger than everyone else. If Catton was his size he would've had 140 points.

4 guys in the same tier, thought about getting Faber a partner and trying to lock in the top pairing for the next 10+ years, but I'll run with the Levshunov crowd. LD of some sort next.

A 1-2 punch at RD of Faber-Levshunov would be filthy
