Picking 3rd OA removes all the pressure since we won't be able to second guess the choice made. It won't be possible to say "they should have taken this guy instead" because the Sens list won't ever be revealed, we won't know who they had at #2 and #3
But I don't think there's a wrong choice anyway between Stutzle and Byfield, both should become elite players if they remain healthy.
No pressure, just take "the other guy"... they are extremely close anyway in that 2nd tier.
What's funny is that the same "problem" might happen again in the next tier when choosing between Drysdale and Raymond, we could end up getting the "other guy" (Detroit or Ottawa could have other plans than these 2 though)
Really, this year drafting #3 and #5 is not much different than drafting #2 and #4 except that you don't have the pressure to choose. The downside is that you don't have the power to choose if you're clearly decided between 2 guys.
EDIT : everybody is entitled to their opinions but Senator is the most perplexing poster I have ever seen on this board. I often end up scratching my head reading his posts and at this point, I'm way too curious to not read them.
