Dahlin is a clear choice for number #1 . then we have about 7 high end players . Who would you choose if we got second overall draft pic
i would prefer to trade down, pick bouchard and get an extra pick. as awesome a player svechnikov is and as much as i'd like to have him here, bouchard seems to be very good in his own rights and we would pick a d-man. Trading down from the #2 spot wouldc give us an additional 1st

Personally I voted for Svechnikov, but if we could trade from 2 to ~5 and pick up an extra 1st (we'd honestly get more probably) and take Boqvist, Hughes, Dobson or Bouchard at 5 I'd be happy with that too.i would prefer to trade down, pick bouchard and get an extra pick. as awesome a player svechnikov is and as much as i'd like to have him here, bouchard seems to be very good in his own rights and we would pick a d-man.

Who on this roster is going to get Andrei Svechnikov the puck to do any damage?
Quality over quantity. We need game changers more than anything else.
Went with lil' Svech.
Mantha - Larkin - A. Svechnikov
E. Svechnikov - Rasmussen - Anthanasiou
That's a nice top 6.

Also, it would be very interesting, if we win the lottery at 2019 and pick a guy like Jack Hughes. Then add Bertuzzi in the mix to create a SUPER DEPTH TOP9 lines. Spread the talent:
Evgeny - Hughes - Andrei
Bertuzzi - Larkin - Mantha
AA - Rasmussen - XXX (some offensive forward who will pan out from our previous drafts as a late bloomer)
But's a pipe dream with too many luck involved. Just an example what would our future like as time goes on and higher we pick.

If you're content to take BPA, and are prepared to let him rot here for another year or two, until there are (hopefully) some defensemen that can actually pass, and some playmakers on offense to help him out, then so be it. But I think his skill set gets largely wasted on the current roster, as opposed to more heavily investing to first build up the defense and center positions.
Exactly, I'm not going to pass up on an 18 year old I love because the current team doesn't compliment him yet. Kid's a surefire star, imo. You take those.Svech fo sure. This rebuild isn't going to be completed with a single draft class and he would be the best of what is left on the board. We are lacking all shades of elite talent.
there is always "Russian factor" risk. Yakupov at juniors remind me yang Fedorov , Jurco was so dominant. Thinks change , some figure it out , some not . I prefer playmakers over scorers , that is why i don't wont get Zadina , Svechnikov or Tkachuk . It is takes longer to develop defenseman, and this year going to be first year for rebuilding club . Next 2 years will take forwards , not this year . We need #1 defenseman and it will be Boqvist ,Hughes or Bouchard
