The only way i'm ok w/ this is if we somehow have a stud RHD lined up on a good contract signed long term and is under 26....so in other words..... I think this would be a mismanagement of assets, especially w/ all our high end fwd specs making their way onto our roster... why create a massive hole to upgrade something that isn't a weakness, just a pure upgrade. Draisaitl would be fantastic don't get me wrong.... but losing colt would kill us unless we had another legit #2 D locked up.
Much rather move berg and soby at the draft for picks, sign tavares(if not sign stastny back), roll schenn, tavares/stas, Thomas as our top9 C's, w/ fabbri, schwartz, steen on LW and Senko, kyrou,klim, tage, sosh,jaskin on RW w/ barbs and sundqvist as utility guys filling in around the lineup and keeping our top 4D of eddy, petro, parayko, dunn intact
