I kind of said it the wrong way. I'm not too high on Zadina compared to Dahlin and Svechnikov. Otherwise, he is an excellent option at 3. I have Wahlstrom ahead by a bit right now, but that could very well change by draft time.
I share the same opinion. If the Rangers were picking at 6 and REALLY wanted Zadina at 3(our pick) I would entertain the idea of trading down as they have some 1sts available. Coming out of the 1st with Wahlstrom(6) and Kravstov(Rangers 1st) would be awesome. Even though trading down from top picks rarely occur, last year Knights were going to do 6+2nd(could have been their better or worse 2nd) for 5. They backed out once they knew who the Canucks were taking. Also, weren't the Bruins packaging their 1sts to get a top pick in 2015? I think they did but it also fell apart last second.
Yeah, I am very high on Kravstov. I also think you are correct on the timeline of events with Boston.
@WeThreeKings - Yeah, I just saw that. Hopefully 14 other GMs have Tkachuk at #2 if we end up picking #3.
I like Hayton, but not sure about being a top-10 option...
