If Arizona has Kotkaniemi rated 5th or later, then just letting Montreal take him moves the Coyotes up one slot for free. That’s a good bargain. At that point it’s also a 50/50 proposition that we get our 3rd ranked guy. Best case scenario is we get #3 for free. Worst case is we get #4 for free. Assuming Montreal takes Kotkaniemi and we have him ranked 5th or later. Great time to stay put if you’re Arizona.
Or Dobson.AZ will take Kotkaniemi if he's there at 5.
I think Bouchard is tailor made for our system.Or Dobson.
I’d be good with Wahlstrom but they probably take the center or RHD.
A system built on speed. Now downgraded in that area with Galchenyuk instead of Domi, looking for full time Strome next year, and Bouchard not exactly known for his skating. Seems to be some contradictions happening. The team is getting slower and Bouchard over Dobson would further that.I think Bouchard is tailor made for our system.

Sandpaper yes, talent no. Tkachuk has both.You get that for cheap. You don’t spend top five picks on it.
Unless the Habs are as high on Dobson as they are on Kotkaniemi...I don't like it. If you want Kotkaniemi, you select him. I wouldn't give Ottawa a chance to steal "our guy".
Give Montreal your 2nd Sens be sure to get ZadinaIm pretty convinced Ottawa wants Zadina too. I really think we'll have to trade up if we really covet Zadina
It works both ways. There's no sense in giving up more, if the worst that happens is you force Montreal into picking a player you wouldn't actually consider at 5th.
Let's say the Coyotes draft list looks like this:
1. Dahlin
2. Svechnikov
3. Tkachuk
4. Zadina
5. Dobson
Why would they give up pick 55 to move up? If they don't have Kotkaniemi in their top six, it guarantees they'll get at least their 4th ranked player.
If we don't have Kotkaniemi in our top five, we aren't moving up two spots, we're moving up just one spot. It would be the difference between our 4th ranked guy and our 3rd ranked guy.
